Description

## Issue summary

- The Chain API subsystem is responsible for providing a single point of access to chain state data via a set of pre-determined queries.
- Some extra research is required in term of whether we will need this subsystem. This is an implementation detail. As we move towards finishing more subsystems, we would make a call about whether we need this or no.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Chain API design document and compare its stated responsibilities with the subsystems already present in Gossamer. The issue explicitly calls for research before implementation; done means documenting whether this subsystem is needed and, if so, defining its scope.
