feat: switches to REST for calling nwaku messages/subscription endpoints

This commit modifies functions in ServiceNode to use the REST API
instead of JSON RPC when reading messages for a pubsub topic or
content topic, and when ensuring a nwaku node is subscribed to a
pubsub topic. Also modifies default Docker params to enable the
rest API and provide a port.
