Generic approach to confirmations

[tomusdrw]

More generic support for confirmations would be nice.

Currently we have a bunch of methods like "send_transaction_with_confirmations" instead it would be good to have a trait that can be implemented for some return types (e.g. futures resolving to transaction hashes) that allows you to (optionally) wait for confirmations.

agree. the API should be more like send_transaction().wait_for_confirmations(n).

Maybe for any type that implements a

trait Confirm {
    // whether the value was confirmed in this block.
    // TODO: extend to receipts for log events?
    fn confirmed(&self, block: &Block) -> bool;
}

then the machinery just keeps track of the depth of blocks where x.confirmed(block) is true.

initially impl Confirm for TransactionHash { ... } but allow implementation for user types
