Add Crypto prices internal API

[martinberlin]

This weekend adding PhpPlot charts for #crypto prices of

1. BTC
2. ETH
3. Litecoin

No real time, just updated hourly.

Views: daily, hourly or minutes.

Time span: last week, last N days, last N hours

Candle type: Filled candles or hollow candles

Data source cryptodatadownload from provider Bitstamp: http://www.cryptodatadownload.com/data/bitstamp/

Example candlesticks generated with PHPPlot from this data:

phpPlot output. Image should be returned using this

EncodeImage — Returns the plot image data

Synopsis

$plot->EncodeImage(‘raw’);

So we can output from a symfony controller . This didn't work fine, but there must be a way to use a Symfony response for this, check: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19236592/output-jpgraph-in-symfony-2 (ob_start -> get_contents) Otherwise the image url gives an error when being opened in the browser directly and WKHTMLToimage will not work correctly.

Implemented and deployed live. Before closing, would be nice to add:

data/symbols.json

{
  "BTCEUR": "Bitcoin/Euro",
  "ETHEUR": "Ethereum/Euro",
  "LTCEUR": "Litecoin/Euro",
  "BTCUSD": "Bitcoin/Dollar",
  "ETHUSD": "Ethereum/Dollar",
  "LTCUSD": "Litecoin/Dollar"
}

As a feed for the dropdown so more coins can be added without modifying the FormType
