miner: ignore a tx's transactor after a gas limit has been returned

When worker encounters a gas limit error, subsequent txs should be
ignored from that particular account. This will prevent:

1. Nonce errors been thrown all around
2. The "Known tx" error. Closes #719
3. Repeated contract address. Closes #731
