Minimum Arbitration Fee cannot easily react to the free market #63

Right now, the minimum fee is specified at the very beginning when the stake is created, meaning that future claimants are only bound to deposit that much-- regardless of if that minimum would not result in claim adjudication in a reasonable amount of time (if arbiter fee rates have increased from the time a stake is created to the time a future claim is created).

To solve this problem, the minimum fee that a claimant is required to deposit should be specified by a stake when whitelisting an individual. Since this will happen at a time much closer to the time when claims will be opened, the potential variability between a feasible market price and the minimum fee is diminished. This minimizes the possibility that whitelisted claimants can open claims which don't get ruled upon in a feasible time frame.

This also seems sound to me. Perhaps related: I never actually got to review your deadline refactor, did it touch this issue at all https://github.com/Bounties-Network/Delphi/issues/27 ?
