The real process to join an org and peer to an existing channel

1. The new org has to be added into an application channel.
2. Once the new org is part of the application channel, the new org admin can add its peers to the channel by following the below steps:

      a). Use peer channel fetch oldest to get the oldest block which is the genesis block
      b). Then use the genesis block to join the peer.

Using hyperledger discover service

# This assumes the following information available

1. a user's private key, public key and its belonging org mspid

  2. a peer's tlsca cert and its endpoint
