First draft template for future Funding requests.

Add a template for future financing request to the Finance section

I like that the previous funding period amounts are clearly stated, to avoid any confusion in future.

I think having objectives/results outlined the way it is there is a good start for people coming onto the project fresh, or for certain kinds of requests, but I'd worry it wouldn't cover stuff like 'continuing development work on the wallet' when features haven't been clearly defined (as they tend to not be between hard forks). So I think it might be appropriate to make it clear on the form itself that these are guidelines.

Other than that, all fine to merge and we can iterate as we see fit.

@yeastplume you are totally right, it is not binding, just some simple guidelines to get started. It is actually stated in the documents in a commented out filed when you open the file

@yeastplume, you are right, it is in the comments of the document, so it will only be shown if you edit the file: " This funding request template was made based on past experiences and debates on the Grin Forum about the necessity to have clear, transparent and unambiguous information in funding requests. This template is not intended to be exhaustive and only serves as a guideline to clearly communicate the minimal amount of information needed for the GRIN community to assess requests for funding. Feel free to add and modify to this template to improve clarity and transparency. However, let us aim to keep this funding template minimal and elegant like GRIN and the Mimble Wimble protocol itself. For ease of comparison of funding requests, it is advised to provide these fields of information in the order given below. "

Merging this now, we can always iterate on it later as required. 👍
