CIP-0127: FA and SV locking implementation

Free Canton Coin Transfer-Preapproval Base Duration

CIP-0096 removed validator liveness rewards. This introduced a bootstrapping problem: Most exchanges only support sending Canton Coin to parties that have preapprovals enabled. But enabling preapprovals requires paying a CC fee for their expiry duration.
