fix(solo): make solo-to-chain more robust

The solo's messagePool is now a proper store-and-forward
implementation to prevent failures in delivery from impacting
the message stream.

Also, wake the sender if there is a new WebSocket to an RPC node.
This prevents the stream from being wedged if the RPC connection
changes.
