[bisq-network/bisq] Add "Cash by mail" as a payment option (#1101)

[pazza]

@crocket thanks, that might put some seller's off using it.  

Where I live there is a good 5% when ordering something the courier will say it has been delivered when it hasn't! Maybe it is just my experience of receiving items from delivery drivers that are in a hurry to get to their next job and can't find anywhere suitable to park.  Packages can be marked as delivered when they have not been. 

If confirmed delivery on it's own is enough evidence to assess if the trade protocol was adhered to. What would stop an unscrupulous trader sending empty boxes to multiple peers in the hope they get marked as delivered and their counterparty does not have the package or has not taken video evidence of opening the package to prove otherwise.

The complication I see if that their are effectively 2 trade protocols in place.

Buyer to Seller through Bisq (both parties have equal control)
Buyer to Seller via Courier (buyer has the control of which courier to use and what insurance to purchase, seller has no control)

It would not be possible for the seller of BTC to be responsible for the buyer's choice of courier / insurance. It would also be hard to standardize this choice unless defining a particular country due to regional variations in couriers. 

As the buyer has control of both what courier service to use and how best to insure themselves I think the risk for ensuring package is delivered should be the BTC buyer's.
