Disable miner loop completly?

[ngotchac]

It seems that even without --miner, bor is still trying to create new blocks with incoming transactions, and it takes roughly ~10% of our CPU.

Why can't we completely disable this? I understand it's needed for pending queries, however:

1. One might not need/want to support pending queries (it's our case)
2. We could create pending blocks in the fly for such requests, which is what geth is doing
