Description

The /covidcast/geo_coverage endpoint went into production recently with #1584. In our haste to release it, we neglected to add any of the role-based restrictions for protected signal sources. To prevent leakage of any privileged/restricted information, we need to add filtering of sources similar to the way other endpoints do.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing role based filtering in other endpoints (e.g., lines 48-65 in covidcast.py) and apply similar logic to the geo coverage endpoint. Ensure that protected signal sources are filtered based on user roles.
