Description

If you run a wallet command while the index is syncing, you'll get "error: wallet failed to synchronize with ord server", we should instead either hang, with a message like "waiting for ord server to sync", or give an error message that includes the server height and the bitcoind height.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the code path where wallet commands interact with the indexer to detect syncing state, and improve the error message to either hang with a waiting message or include sync heights.
