[bisq-network/roles] Mediator (#83)

[leo816]

### Cycle 16 Report
```
Total Cases in this Cycle: 29
Still open: 6
Closed: 23
```

I will analyze the cycle up until today, will update it at the end of such cycle with the remaining information.

- 25% both parties agreed to cancel 
- 10% Trader provide the wrong information
- 50% BTC seller took longer to answer/make the payment
- 15% Buyer could not make the payment

Users are now starting to accept giving the Revolut username when making a transfer and that is speeding up things. 

There have been some discussions between mediators as to whether we should standardize certain behavior patterns from users. For example when the buyer doesn't want to continue with the trade and refuses to make the payment. 
We are leaving this penalty % for the mediator to estimate. In the future I would like to see and fixed rate with maybe a last verdict from the mediator, but I think having things standardized makes it easier for the most part.

Another pending issue is the problem with users who never respond and trades that end up going to arbitration which makes no sense for the other party that often has done everything correctly. Similarly, a BTC seller may release the funds after 10 days with no penalty at all, there must be some way to control this. (still working on this)
