Jimmy Chen 2d223575d6 Avoid unnecessary database lookups in data column RPC requests (#7897)
This PR is an optimisation to avoid unnecessary database lookups when peer requests data columns that the node doesn't custody (advertised via `cgc`).

e.g. an extreme but realistic example - a full node only store 4 custody columns by default, but it may receive a range request of 32 slots with all 128 columns, and this would result in 4096 database lookups but the node is only able to get 128 (4 * 32) of them.


  - Filter data column RPC requests (`DataColumnsByRoot`, `DataColumnsByRange`) to only lookup columns the node custodies
- Prevents unnecessary database queries that would always fail for non-custody columns
