CIP: burn address #301

Description

@tac0turtle

When discussing burns in the context of the Cosmos SDK, there are two ways burning can happen.

  1. calling the burn function in the bank module. This can only be done from modules. The burn function lowers the total supply and removes the tokens from circulation.
  2. Create a canonical burn address that tokens can be sent to. This acts as the 0x00

To avoid modifying the Cosmos SDK fork for Celestia further I would propose we create a canonical burn address as a CIP in order for all users to understand which address is the correct burn address.
