[bisq-network/bisq] Proposal to adapt accounts export feature (#3924)

[FKrauss]

## Case

Today in keybase we had an interesting case:
- a user exported his fiat accounts about a year ago
- when he imported them into a new bisq installation the accounts were there but the ones that were signed were now not signed anymore

That happens because, as explained by @m52go the file `sig.key` is not exported together with the account export feature.

## Problem 

Now that we have account signing what that means is that exporting your accounts will only save you the time to type them all again but not the "reputation" your accounts earned by getting signed.

With that in mind I wanted to bring to discussion some alternatives so we can evaluate and decide what to do.

## feature summary 

Account export

` as a user I want to "backup" my accounts and their respective reputations into a file [to be used in my new installation of bisq or simply for keeping it for longer periods of time] `


Options (I don't know the conditions that these files need to fulfill, please comment with your thoughts) 

1. Save the `sig.key` file together with the accounts export 
2. Merge the accounts export with the regular "backup" feature - so there will always be accounts and `sig.key` files, keeping the accounts complete
3. Eliminate account export feature as it is not exporting the account completely, thus creating a false sense of security to the users 


-------

I think 1 and 2 are options we could  consider but would like to understand the implications and challenges better.
