Currency conversion

In order to make extension more autonomous, currency rates are set to be updated every 2 weeks, and at the moment of conversion data may not be 100% accurate. Currency conversion output is intended to be used only for a quick estimation. You can decrease update interval in extension's settings if needed, but minimal value for now is 7 days to not cause too much load on API servers. Currency rates are fetched from fawazahmed0's currency-api
