Adds sanity integration test for txsub. Add a test (`submit_transaction_test.go`) I forgot to include in #3653. While we have some unit tests for txsub we don't test the transaction submission endpoint during mirroring test. A simple integration test should at least catch the most obvious bugs.

What
This commit changes
POST /transactionsbehaviour to return503 Service Unavailable(stale_history) instead of504 Gateway Timeout(timeout) response if connected Stellar-Core is not synced.Close #3550.
Why
timeouterror is confusing when the connected Stellar-Core is not synced because it means that the transaction has been broadcasted but there is no result yet. What actually happens is that the transaction is not broadcasted (and Horizon cannot ingest it) when Stellar-Core is not in synced. The new response is returned as soon as Horizon determines that the Stellar-Core status has changed.Known limitations
