Prestwich/gas escalator dangle (#2284)

* fix: prevent gas escalator dangling tasks

* chore: lockfile

* refactor: avoid holding lock for a long time

* refactor: cleanup

* chore: changelog and docs

* tests: fix test in name

* docs: add a lot of info to the gasescalator docs

* reset changelog as it'll be automatically managed in the future

/// GasEscalator runs a background task which monitors the blockchain for tx
/// confirmation, and bumps fees over time if txns do not occur. This task
/// periodically loops over a stored history of sent transactions, and checks
/// if any require fee bumps. If so, it will resend the same transaction with a
/// higher fee.
///
/// Using [`GasEscalatorMiddleware::new`] will create a new instance of the
/// background task. Using [`GasEscalatorMiddleware::clone`] will crate a new
/// instance of the middleware, but will not create a new background task. The
/// background task is shared among all clones.
///
/// ## Footgun
///
/// If you drop the middleware, the background task will be dropped as well,
/// and any transactions you have sent will stop escalating. We recommend
/// holding an instance of the middleware throughout your application's
/// lifecycle, or leaking an `Arc` of it so that it is never dropped.
///
/// ## Outstanding issue
///
/// This task is fallible, and will stop if the provider's connection is lost.
/// If this happens, the middleware will become unable to properly escalate gas
/// prices. Transactions will still be dispatched, but no fee-bumping will
/// happen. This will also cause a memory leak, as the middleware will keep
/// appending to the list of transactions to escalate (and nothing will ever
/// clear that list).
///
/// We intend to fix this issue in a future release.
