Use to require that a function will run only of the blockchain is recently updated.

    This middleware takes an argument, so unlike other middleware, you must make the middleware
    with a method call.
    For example: `make_stalecheck_middleware(60*5)`

    If the latest block in the chain is older than 5 minutes in this example, then the
    middleware will raise a StaleBlockchain exception.
