        Returns the block number and hash of the highest finalized block
        available in the dataset, or null if no blocks are available. Useful
        mostly for diagnostics, as clients using /stream can get this info from
        the X-Sqd-Finalized-Head-Number and X-Sqd-Finalized-Head-Hash response
        headers.
