Notes and record state

Record note
Terminal handling uses 2020-05-15 because public exchange-status coverage states that OpenLedger DEX closed down as of that date after releasing a closure message. Death reason is mapped to voluntary_shutdown because the closure was announced by the exchange itself. Launch date uses the 2015-10-13 official launch marker from public launch reporting. CCEDK is recorded as a predecessor because CCEDK transitioned from its original exchange role into the OpenLedger-centered structure in 2016.
