What

Replace custom backoff-based transaction polling logic with the Go Stellar SDK's built-in PollTransaction method.

Why

The go-stellar-sdk is getting PollTransaction functionality in stellar/go-stellar-sdk#5876, which is a port over of the polling transaction logic in friendbot. Now that the logic has been incorporated into the SDK, that eliminates the need for that logic to live and be maintained here.

Ready for review and merging.

This PR now depends on a specific commit of go-stellar-sdk (c77f40a164fb) rather than a released version in order to use the new PollTransactionWithOptions functionality. This is fine because there's nothing incompatible on the main branch of go-stellar-sdk since the last release, and friendbot would like to use this functionality now without being blocked on a release.
