CIP-0014, CIP-0015, CIP-0016, CIP-0025, CIP-0028, CIP-0029, CIP-1852, CIP-1853, CIP-1855 status updates. (cardano-foundation#256)

* Mark CIP-0014 as active.

  Asset fingerprints are now used in many places of the cardano-ecosystem:

  - In core tools:
    - cardano-wallet
    - cardano-db-sync
    - cardano-graphql
    - cardano-node (cli)
    - ...

  - In hardware devices
    - Trezor
    - Ledger
    - ...

  - In Wallets
    - Daedalus
    - Eternl
    - Nami
    - Yoroi
    - ...

  - In Explorers
    - Pool.pm
    - Cardanoscan
    - ...

* Mark CIP-0015 as active.

  There has been multiple Catalyst rounds already using that CIP. Plus,
  we are now seeing extensions of this CIP being proposed like [CIP-0036](https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/tree/master/CIP-0036#readme).

* Mark CIP-0016 as active.

  Implemented by at least cardano-cli and cardano-address. This has been
  a quite common format used to encode serialized key across interfaces
  and is rather unequivocal.

* Mark CIP-0025 as active.

  Used pervasively across pretty much all wallets and explorers of the
  ecosystem. Despite possible improvements that were discussed, it has
  become the de-facto standard for NFT on-chain metadata, at least until
  a new proposal is more broadly adopted.

* Mark CIP-0028 as active.

  This was documented _after the facts_. The hard-fork has already
  happened and the document does indeed capture the parameters *at that
  time*. While the values of some of those parameters have changed,
  their semantic hasn't.

* Mark CIP-0029 as active.

  This document both describes the current on-chain format (via CDDL/CBOR)
  which is in effect since the beginning of the Allegra era. It also
  describes the JSON equivalent used by the cardano-cli and
  cardano-address (and perhaps other tools I am not aware of).

* Mark CIP-1852, CIP-1853 & CIP-1855 as active.

  CIP-1852 (and its extensions, CIP-1853 + CIP-1855) is describing (has
  been for a while) the effective derivation schemes used by all
  desktop, light and hardware wallets operating in the Cardano ecosystem.
