Creating a Market

Creating a market is permissionless, so that anyone can create a new market using the Rust CLI or the JS library.
Make sure to crank the markets you create otherwise they may fail to function ⚠️
In order to create a market you will need:
The Pyth oracle symbol of the market
The initial amount of virtual quote currency you want for the market
