We achieve our optimizations in three ways:
1. Batching calls instead of making them individually.
To get access to the batch calls, we replace all our
calls to the HTTP interface with RPC calls.
2. Never directly make network calls based on function
calls on the wallet.
Instead, inquiring about the status of a script always
just returns information based on local data. With every
call, we check when we last refreshed the local data and
do so if the data is considered to be too old. This
interval is configurable.
3. Use electrum's notification feature to get updated
with the latest blockheight.

Instead of leaking the tokio::sync:⌚:Receiver type in our
return value, we create a newtype that implements the desired
interface. This allows us to get rid of the `RateService` structs
and instead implement `LatestRate` directly on top of this struct.
Given that `LatestRate` is only used within the event_loop module,
we move the definition of this type into there.
This reduces the overall amount of LoC that imports take up in our
codebase by almost 100.
It also makes merge-conflicts less likely because there is less
grouping together of imports that may lead to layout changes which
in turn can cause merge conflicts.
This allows us to use .context instead of .map_err when calling
`latest_rate()`. For the static rate module, we simply fill in
`Infallible` which is actually better suited because it describes
that we are never using this error.
Note that because we are using `watch` channel, only a reference to the
channel value can be returned.
Hence, using custom Error that can be cloned to be able to
pass `Result` through the channel.
