Sending a transaction can cause the DEFAULT_FORNO_URL to be polled to frequently.

[MuckT]

Current behavior

After sending a transaction the DEFAULT_FORNO_URL gets hit at least once per second indefinitely attempting to get the transaction receipt with requests containing the same body.

Desired behavior

The DEFAULT_FORNO_URL should not be polled indefinitely to get the transaction receipt. An exponential back-off and circuit breaker seems appropriate.

Steps to Reproduce

Prerequisites: Run the app in dev mode on either Mainnet or Alfajores. Have a tool such as flipper to observe network requests.

1. Fund this account.
2. Send a transaction.
3. Observe network requests hitting the DEFAULT_FORNO_URL - forno.celo.org or alfajores-forno.celo-testnet.org
