Get Users Stateless

POST /api/v0/get-users-stateless

Get information about multiple users. This endpoint is used for retrieving data about a user after they log in, so the UI can adjust to the attributes of the user.

Request contains a list of public keys of users to fetch.

Endpoint implementation in backend.

Example usages in frontend: - Make request to Get Users Stateless - Use GetUsersStateless to retrieve data about users upon login - Use GetUsersStateless to retrieve profiles for the Bithunt community projects leaderboard

SkipForLeaderBoard	Boolean	Skips fetching all attributes other than the ProfileEntryResponse and PublicKeyBase58Check
