[bisq-network/bisq-docs] [WIP] Produce basic instructions on Backup and Recovery (#95)

[Steve Jain]

m52go commented on this pull request.

Looking over this document more closely, I think it would be better to make it more about backup and recovery instead of wallet security. We already have a [Secure Your Wallet](https://docs.bisq.network/secure-wallet.html) doc published that covers setting a wallet password and writing down seed words.

The first 2 sections can largely be replaced with a link to that doc, I think. Restoring a wallet from seed words is important—that's something we don't have yet, and this is a great place to do it. Covering other wallet issues like what to do when a user sees incorrect balances, corrupted SPV file, emergency wallet tool, etc. would be nice too (nice but not necessary in a first run of this doc).

Most importantly, I think this doc should cover backup and recovery of the data folder in a little more detail. There's a fair bit of confusion from users over how the data folder works and what to do when things don't go as expected (what happens to active trades, active disputes, open offers (fees?), account aging, etc when restoring backups). A backup without any activity is easy, but most users will have some elements they expect to see carried over and this doc should be clear about what they should expect.
