Setting your pinata key to ensure IPFS uploading

Explanation

We currently rely mostly on pinata to upload our proposal metadata so for best and most consistent results we ask you to use your own pinata keys so you have less reliance on us.

We will soon have added resiliency via web3.storage which will make this unnecessary but for now setting your pinata keys helps ensure you can make proposals with proper titles and descriptions hosted on IPFS.
