💡 [REQUEST] - Migrate ticker from connex

[freemanzMrojo]

Summary

There is a very useful feature in connex to wait for the blocks to be processed instead of using a timer, called ticker.

Basic Example

This would be a sample usage:

public async deployAndGetTxReceipt(
    bytecode: string,
    constructorEncoded?: string,
  ) {
    const clause = {
      value: '0',
      data: bytecode + (constructorEncoded ?? ''),
      to: null,
    };
    const gas = await this.connex.getGasEstimate([clause]);
    const signedTx = this.connex.signTransaction([clause], gas);
    const contract = await signedTx.request();

    let txReceipt: Connex.Thor.Transaction.Receipt | null = null;
    //Timeout after 3 blocks
    for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
      txReceipt = await this.connex.thor
        .transaction(contract.txid)
        .getReceipt();
      if (txReceipt) {
        break;
      }
      await this.connex.thor.ticker().next();
    }

    return txReceipt;
  }

Hey @freemanzMrojo , are there other use-cases other than waiting the one in the example that can only be handled with the ticker?
How urgent this is?

hi @victhorbi , it is not urgent, this feature just came up in a conversation with @claytonneal last week, so I logged it 👍
