SpotBit should provide human-friendly names for exchanges. #54

Description

@wolfmcnally

SpotBit provides server names that are all lower case:

[
	"gemini",
	"bitstamp",
	"okcoin",
	"coinbasepro",
	"kraken",
	"bitfinex",
	"bitflyer",
	"liquid",
	"coincheck",
	"bitbank",
	"zaif",
	"hitbtc",
	"binance",
	"okex",
	"gateio",
	"bitmax"
]

These all lower-case names are fine as internal identifiers of exchanges for use in the API, but are not true to the brands of these exchanges. It would be more helpful if SpotBit provided user-facing information about each exchange; at least the user-facing name, web site URL, and ISS country code for the exchange headquarters.

[
  {"id": "kraken", "name": "Kraken", "url": "https://www.kraken.com/", "country": "US"},
  {"id": "ascendex", "name": "AscendEX", "url": "https://ascendex.com/", "country": "SG"}
]

These records could also carry information about which currencies SpotBit is configured to get information on from each exchange:

[
  {"id": "kraken", "name": "Kraken", "url": "https://www.kraken.com/", "country": "US", "currencies": ["USD"]},
  {"id": "ascendex", "name": "AscendEX", "url": "https://ascendex.com/", "country": "SG", "currencies": ["USD", "JPY", "GBP"]}
]
