[bisq-network/bisq] [Feature]Integrate whirlpool into Bisq wallet (Issue #5867)

[Blackjack]

Hey!👋
Bisq is one of the few platforms with the goal of preserving the privacy of the users and where you can buy/sell bitcoins for fiat with no KYC. It's great peer to peer exchange platform but it doesn't offer users a complete privacy-oriented solution since it is based on a wallet which lacks any privacy measure intended to protect users against on chain tracking techniques. Indeed Bisq wallet does not offer any method to keep txs unlinked to each other on the blockchain. The only solution consists on transferring the funds to an external wallet, mixing them through a coinjoin and sending them back to the Bisq wallet.
We can do more in order to guarantee our financial privacy.
Integrating whirlpool into Bisq wallet would be a great step forward to make the common ownership analysis more difficult. It would be also easier and faster for Bisq users to keep their tx private in just a single wallet(Bisq).
So this would increase the privacy of both Bisq and Samourai users.
What is coinjoin?
Coinjoin is a technique intended to create a transaction which makes impossible to trace ownership of funds with
any certainty.
Why whirlpool?
Whirlpool is a coinjoin implementation which offers a high degree of anonimity and lets users have full ownership of their funds. It has gained a lot of trust (it has been integrated also into Sparrow wallet, recently 4558 BTC unspent capacity). There are no deterministic links between inputs and outputs, no address reuse, no mixing previously seen coins together and no mix with yourself.

I'm sure that this feature could be very useful for each Bisq user if implemented. I hope it will be implemented. We need privacy to be increased on layer one as much as we can by integrating and using the tools available
