Closes #1112
This PR implements hash chain validation in the CU as described in #1112.
The implementation accommodates the SU changes portion, to include the
previous_assignment
portion of the response, not yet being rolled out. In this case, the CU skips it's hash chain validation. In other words, the CU's hashchain validation is feature flagged, such to only be turned on when the SU changes are live. This enables flexible deployment of either unit -- the CU before the SU or vice-versa
