[bisq-network/support] Refund agent reimbursement leak (Issue #1052)

[chimp1984]

I would not use the negatively coloured term `tax` as it is not a tax which collects someone but is a cost for utilizing the Bitcoin blockchain which also is not lost but gets converted back to BTC when the BSQ gets burned. If paid in trade fee we  use it as miner fee and therefor reducing the required miner fee, so the BSQ owner who burned BSQ benefits directly from getting the initial "cost" back.
As you mentioned above we should make it more explicit that the burningman collects back those BTC and at larger amounts of 10000 BSQ it can be a substantial amount we should track more transparentaly.

When the DAO started the Bitcoin price was much lower so that factor of the "printing cost" was much lower as well. Unfortunately the BSQ price did not follow the BTC and stayed rather stable in the 0.5-2 USD range, so the printing cost in % of the issues BSQ have increased. I think the currently 3.3% is still not a problem and people have to factor them into their compensation requests. For reimbursement requests I consider it fair to add those 3.3% so that the requester does not carry the burden of it. It should get burned anyway afterwards and thus flows via BM back to the DAO.
