When using BitcoindChainSource, the node was updating the fee_rate every 2 seconds, even if no new block had arrived. This behavior did not occur with other chain sources.
This change introduces a check against the last_best_block_hash before updating the fee rate in the periodic loop. If the current block hash is the same as the last known one, the update is skipped. The fee rate is only refreshed when a new block is detected, reducing redundant processing.
Note that this only affects the periodic update loop. Direct calls to update the fee_rate are not impacted
