Get first valid Sidetree transaction

Changed on

Given a list of Sidetree transactions, returns the first transaction in the list that is valid. Returns 404 NOT FOUND if none of the given transactions are valid. This API is primarily used by the Sidetree core library to determine a transaction that can be used as a marker in time to reprocess transactions in the event of a block reorganization (temporary fork).
