Refactor: Transition to synchronous live policy fee computation

- Replaced `async` logic in `live_test.py` with synchronous calls for better compatibility.
- Refactored `Transaction.fee()` to include a private helper for asynchronous fee handling.
- Updated `LivePolicy` tests to utilize `default_http_client` with mock responses.
- Improved test coverage for cache utilization and fallback scenarios.
- Removed outdated and unused code in `LivePolicy` test suite.
