Removing references to token symbols from the specification #49

On a related note, I’ve been wondering why tickers are themselves so important in this system. If we just used addresses to represent markets, then we’d still have unambiguous specifications of markets without the need for either governance or an only owner model (in the TickerRegistry).

The more I think about it, the more I feel like symbols should not be included in the Zaidan specification. A registry should still exist, and symbols should still be supported in the official Zaidan clients, but at that point a trader would be trusting the client implementation (which they've also decided to use and can vet) instead of a a random Zaidan implementation found out in the wild -- whose source code cannot be easily verified.
