What does this pull request do? Explain your changes. (required)
Currently the blockwatcher will only process a single block per polling interval. This PR implements a
syncToLatestBlockfunction that's called on each polling interval.This function requests the last block from a remote ethereum node and loops
pollNextBlock()until the block number of the top of the stack equals that of the last block.How did you test each of these updates (required)
Tested manually on rinkeby with a polling interval of 60 seconds
Does this pull request close any open issues?
Fixes #1575 where nodes would run into expired ticket param errors due to their nodes falling behind on blocks when setting polling intervals greater than the block time. This can still occur however because ticket params expiration is 5 blocks, so the polling interval should still be small enough. We could lengthen this expiration time in a subsequent PR if necessary.
