[bisq-network/bisq] Create metric to monitor network size (#3916)

[Christoph Atteneder]

So the idea would be to collect within a given timeframe:
- Number of active nodes (nodes that are part of the network)
- Number of available offers
- Number of trades

We'll keep an eye on the ratios between each of these numbers.

**# of active nodes > # of available offers**
If this conversion number increases compared to the previous timeframe, we either have attracted more  market makers or improved the client and enabled the user to create an offer more easily.
To be able to check if we got more market makers on board we could monitor the offerbook to check by how many nodes the offers have been created with. If the ratio `# of available offers/# of nodes` stays roughly the same we can assume that the conversion increase is either by better user targeting in our growth efforts or by improvements within the client.

**# of available offers > # of trades**
As the trade statistics object is published already before the trade is settled (while both parties need to be online) we can't take it as a metric if we improved the trade process itself. If this conversion number increases compared to the previous timeframe, it could mean:
- we targeted the right type of people that are happy to take existing trades
- we improved UX that people are able to find and take existing offers more easily
- we have enough liquidity with a reasonable spread for quick transactions
