Changed the provider list to be NIP-89 based, this means anybody can configure zap-stream-core to self-advertise with the "advertise" config and be available for all users to stream with.

A long term goal for me was to get to the point where there was a marketplace of streaming providers, it seems like i've finally made it there, but as always there is still so much to do!
Bunch of updates for zap.stream today!

- Auto-topup with NWC
- Stream provider selection UI (more providers to come)

Also much improved payment systems for zap-stream-core including:
- Receive payments with NWC
- LNURL receive payments (LUD-21 required)
- Bitvora receive payments

These improvements will make it much easier for self-hosters to run zap-stream-core anywhere, all you need is a lightning address or NWC connection to receive payments for topups.

More improvements for self-hosters coming soon including a full tutorial on how to deploy zap-stream-core on a clean VM.
