[bisq-network/bisq] Payment methods: Add support for M-Pesa (#5022)

There are a couple other fiat wallet apps which support $KES (Kenyan shillings) and work with either one or more of the local mobile money networks (e.g., Safaricom m-Pesa in Kenya) or with one or more domestic banks.  There's EverSend app, and Chipper Cash, as two examples.  But the ability to reverse a payment is even greater with these payment networks that sit at a layer on top of the underlying base layer fiat networks, thus they are even less qualified as an alternative to the base layer mobile money network (e.g., Safaricom m-Pesa).   And with the various central banks in the region being hostile to bitcoin, there's risk simply in transacting using these fiat payment methods (e.g., Chipper Cash has "temporarily" suspended Safaricom m-Pesa, which has caused anyone with a $KES balance on Chipper Cash app to lose access to their funds, until there is a resolution.)
