feat: native support for WNIBI gas consumption

If a user has WNIBI in their account and not NIBI, they should still be able to pay for txs

Unique: did deep dive on the Osmosis fee module, which includes functionality we don't need, so ours would be a lot simpler (e.g. no IBC fees). In our case, it would be a 1:1 conversion between WNIBI and NIBI, and with stNIBI it would include a wasm query for the exchange rate.

  • As soon as @expertdicer started working on this (see https://github.com/NibiruChain/nibiru/pull/2343) need to clarify some requirements overall:

  1. Should we use gov proposal or sudo to add "gas tokens"? Gov proposal could potentially break the system if the unknown token added.

  2. Do we need an epoch hook to distribute the token between validators? When the token is not convertible into a bank coin, it could be hard. Can we skip this distribution entirely? Just keep the tokens on fee collector account? I believe it's mostly for spam protection. In this case it could be simpler.

  3. I suggest we only support "wrapped tokens" like WNIBI which has an easy way of withdrawing and FunTokens which could be converted to bank coin via precompile.

  4. I suggest we only support coins which are whitelisted in Nibiru oracle.
