[bisq-network/roles] Payment Method Maintainer (#38)

[m52go]

## Cycle 11 Report

No notable changes, yet. But there has been activity, with actual contributions probably taking place in Cycle 12. Payment methods need more attention, and may be a reason for smaller trades overall, especially since account signing was implemented.

SWIFT bank wires were supposed to be included in v1.2.8 but got pushed back in favor of critical bugs that were found in advance of the release.

Other contributors have been experimenting with the online version of Western Union to see if there is any potential / utility for it within Bisq.

Zelle has changed some things about the way it operates, which makes the warning message and list of banks displayed in Bisq outdated. I just discovered this recently...PR to fix incoming.

Here is **how fiat payments were made in February**.

As well as a **breakdown of traditional altcoin trades and instant altcoin trades, this time shown over time** since introduction, instead of as a 1-month snapshot. Seen this way, it's unmistakable how much more common instant trades were when altcoin volume was high. Why is that?
