[bisq-network/proposals] DAO Proposal Review Period (#40)

## Background
During the last few voting rounds I have found that some requests for compensation might have needed more time for review and discussion. 

## Problem
In general, out of self interest to get a reasonable proposal accepted it's good to post it early if there is any reason to believe it might be contentious. Additional discussion around it could help to make voters understand the reason and perhaps give some time to modify the request. The reverse is true for an unreasonable proposal (eg, asking for compensation for work not done, changing parameters to weaken the DAO). By posting it late and giving no time for review and discussion voters might choose to abstain and with only a few yes votes the proposal would get passed.

It's expected that contributors understand what they vote on and should thus reject unreasonable proposals. However, with the idea of delegated voting and that the default is to abstain when not sure that opens up for passing unreasonable proposals.

## Proposal
I propose to prolong the break (`BREAK1`) between proposal (`PROPOSAL`) and voting (`BLIND_VOTE`) phases to have time for reasonable review and discussion. Two or three days rather than just a few blocks would give sufficient time for contributors to voice their opinion on any unreasonable proposals.

## Potential Issues
By adding more time between proposal and vote resolution there is a potentially longer time between work and reward.
