[bisq-network/bisq] when seller as taker using min btc range security deposit is higher (#3869)

[sir-plankton]

Maybe I'm not understanding something because this is a bug to me.

I just tried to take a seller's offer that ranged from .007 to .052 BTC (50% security deposit setting). Because I'm a new user, the max I can buy is .01, fine.  But...
The next screen says my security deposit is .026 (327% "of the trade amount") !  This makes no sense.
I'm trying to buy .010 and the deposit is .026 !
The security deposit should be 50% * desired_buy_amount, or .005
Why is the security deposit calculated with the **maximum** of the seller's range?

The seller would not be happy that prospective buyers like me are choosing other sellers because she/he allowed a range.
Under the current code, sellers who allow buyers to pick a range are being penalized because their offers are burdened with unreasonably high (and unintended) security deposits.  The sellers probably don't realize this is happening to their offers.
