ckETH: a canister-issued Ether twin token on the IC

Hi everyone :wave: !

A couple of updates regarding ckERC20:

  1. Simplify adding new ckERC20 tokens. After having written a few proposals to add new ckERC20 tokens and communication with the community (e.g., see Proposal to add OCT as a new ckERC20 token), we realized that the arguments for the ledger suite orchestrator to add a new token could be greatly simplified. This requires, however, an upgrade of the ledger suite orchestrator, which is planed by proposal 131373 (that proposal also plans on upgrading the managed ledger suites, see the proposal summary for more details). If the proposal is executed, any token afterwards will be able to use the new simplified syntax, as shown in the documentation on Adding a new ckERC20 token.
  2. Add new ckERC20 token: ckUSDT ckUSDT-token. Proposal 131374 plans on adding ckUSDT, the twin token of USDT, which should be executed after proposal 131373, since it uses the new simplified syntax mentioned above.
