[bisq-network/bisq] Add option to make trade 'reason' less obvious (#2869)

[Conza]

> Only trades were this could be an issue is when someone takes multiple offers from the same trader. As each trade is assigned to a different mediator it could get messy if a payment is missing. In this instance it could be sorted in trader chat or with communication between mediators. I think trades like this are rare.

The below improvements relating to trader chat would certainly help. 

> Also, it would require traders to use trader chat in instances where account info is not always obvious. Eg Amazon eGift cards use email. I am sure this can be sorted in trader chat.

Hence related to: 

- Improve "Portfolio" icon to aid communication between traders - https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/5074
- Add ability for mediator's & arbitrator's to see "Trader Chat" (upon escalation) - https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/5044

I commented at #5080 that there should be indication of _why_ in the pop up message comms. 

This would also likely be making life harder for high volume traders I suspect. But they're also most at risk of banned accounts anyway on various payment methods. 

Pushing better, easier comm's between traders is vital.  


> I haven't read this whole thread but just wanted to put my 2 cents in. I am against having any false information in the reason for payment field. I think putting in false information into this field doesn't really add any additional privacy because I think the payment providers are more looking at your account activity than anything else. Having a bunch of payments with a lot of random reasons doesn't make you seem less suspicious imo, if anything I think it would make you look more suspicious (who buys a bunch of random items from individuals online all the time, not many people I would think...). I am also against it because should any questions or investigation into your account be asked then you have already incriminated yourself by lying.

Everyone canned the OP, but it was aiming in the right direction. The removing it #5080 is a step in direction direction as well.

I still think an _**optional alternative Trade ID**_ will be a helpful addition. It's leave it blank by default, or the MAKER can indicate their preference for "e.g. Thanks for the collectibles", "Craiglist 2051 purchase", "Bicycle", "downpayment" etc. if I was a maker, I would get sick of having to chat about what it is the reason ID should be in trader chat. As e.g. a taker of BTC - I want to accommodate as much as possible the seller, so I become a preferred person they sell to etc. 

Replicating real world transactions efficiently and conveniently is ideal. Facilitating that should be the goal by the protocol. 
It's shite it has to be done, but better than the alternatives...
