Description

Feature request: add a "Mining Endpoint" to the Node API, that could be used to retrieve the stats currently available on the Mining tab of the TUI. Would also be handy to get this into grin client.

Currently, when running grin in headless mode, there is no way to retrieve the mining statistics such as the connected workers.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the Node API documentation and TUI mining tab code to identify required stats, then implement a new endpoint returning that data.
