Farmer optimizations

[nazar-pc]

I was reading logs from one of the larger farmers and noticed that even with proxy client requests to the node can be still quite frequent in some cases. Also farm maintenance operations are potentially expensive-ish, so it makes sense to move them into a blocking task.

Mostly refactoring, when whitespaces are ignored it'll be clear that changes are not large.
