PIP 26: Enable revenue sharing in the vote flywheel

TL;DR: Distribute 1 ETH per month in the vote flywheel

Context:
WIth PIP-XX Paladin is distributing emissions to users voting in incentive campaigns on Quest. The goal of this program was growing our market share by partly subsidizing our fees. I believe we can consider this program is on its track to become a success despite price action.

Since the launch of the vote flywheel, Quest has maintained itself around 100,000$ of weekly volume, which represents 20% of the total bribe market today. This is four time the shares of the market we had in january. This growth is due both to a major increase in clients but also decrease in total bribes. It is also noteworthy that the vote flywheel has doubled our total amount of users over summer.

Rationale:
Considering that we aren’t done with our integration of this system (enabling delegates to the auto-voter and Warlord depositors later on to also boost their gains), and are already showing positive results, I believe we can double down on such system by trialing wETH revenue sharing in the Vote Flywheel.

The DAO is currently earning 30,000$-40,000$ on a monthly basis and set to spend 27,000$ in maintenance and research. With our current reserves allocating 1 wETH a month would still enable us to constitute a treasury while doubling the $ value of our emissions. This will also help PAL in the sense that it will create an indirect supplementary yield source of ~18.5% APR (considering up to 20% of the yield can go to vanilla users).
