[bisq-network/bisq] Navigation Hierarchy Adjustments (Issue #6061)

[chimp1984]

Thanks @UX-P for the proposal!

I think that fixes the main source of confusion for new altcoin traders. 
Bisq is using the wrong mental model for altcoins by putting Bitcoin at the center, but for altcoins the altcoin would be the quote currency and BUY/SELL relates to the altcoin not BTC (e.g. I want to BUY XMR).

The mental model of base currency and quote currency is determined by the market price as all prices are quoted on that model. Left is the base currency and right the quote currency. The quote is the price for 1 unit of the base currency, e.g. 50 000 USD for 1 BTC or 0.004 BTC for 1 XMR in case of an altcoin.

Buy having the Buy BTC and Sell BTC in the menu we have the contradiction that at the buttons we use the correct language (e.g. BUY XMR) but at the top menu we have SELL BTC. This cause confusion.

As much I appreciate the change I am also a bit worried about implementing it as the incorrect model represented in the UI have traces in the domain models and much care is required to not break things. But I think its at least worth a maybe time boxed attempt to see if in e.g. 2 days an experienced dev like @jmacxx  or @ripcurlx can implement the changes without causing a avalanche of problems.
