Description

Add a GET endpoint under e.g., /datasets/exists/v1/{identifier} which only returns whether or not the asset with that identifier exists (the asset should be public or the user should have read permissions). As it should be available for all resources, it makes sense to add this to the resource router.

Suggestions is based on #409.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing resource router to understand how endpoints are structured (e.g., list, get, create). Then implement a new GET endpoint that checks existence by querying the asset and returning a boolean. Consider permissions (public or read access).
