Notes and record state

Record note
The record remains type cex because of the frozen queue, but Paybis is primarily a brokerage / purchase-and-sale platform rather than a traditional order-book exchange. The origin is broadened from Poland to Poland / Latvia to reflect the current Polish VASP context and the licensed EU entity SIA Paybis Europe in Latvia.
