Currently only LTMs can refer new users and earn referral income, which set a high barrier for attracting new users, and lead to bad PR. Imo we need to break this barrier, let non-LTMs be able to refer new users, which will be better PR. In the mean while, if needed, we can set other limitations, for example only LTMs can claim referral income.

//Edit: an option could be non-LTMs get less cash-back from referred users than LTMs.

do any of you recall one time BM mentioning possibly being able to change it so that not just LTM can gain from refers but regular users also?

To implement this, technically we need to:
* add a special vesting object to every non-LTM account, and
* add an operation or change current withdraw_vesting_operation so that only LTM can claim from this vesting object, and
* modify the fee split implementation so non-LTM referral income goes to this special vesting object

Thoughts?
