Closes #464
This PR has the oracle back off a bit after having gotten the latest block from the Ethereum JSON-RPC endpoint being used, otherwise we call the Ethereum RPC endpoint very fast over and over. Also adding some extra logging, so we can see what the latest block height is.
(we could expand the backoff strategy in later PRs but adding these small 1-second sleeps solves the immediate issue)
