 * Provides a reusable hook that can be used for safely updating the polling
 * data in the gas fee controller. It makes a request to get estimates and
 * begin polling, keeping track of the poll token for the lifetime of the hook.
 * It then disconnects polling upon unmount. If the hook is unmounted while waiting
 * for `getGasFeeEstimatesAndStartPolling` to resolve, the `active` flag ensures
 * that a call to disconnect happens after promise resolution.
