MIR-33┃Adjust paUSD Borrow Rates on Ethereum & Polygon PoS

Summary: This proposal aims to adjust paUSD borrow rates on Ethereum & Polygon PoS.

Rationale: Following MIP-19, MIP-20, MIP-21 & MIP-22, which raised minimum borrow rates to 1.80% per year in line with recent market conditions changes (FED rates increased, main CDP borrow rates increase), we propose to continue in this direction by increasing minimum borrow rates to 4.20% per year. This will help both adjusting demand/offer (paUSD peg) and increasing protocol revenues. Protocol revenues from paUSD borrow rates would grow from around $2.5k per year to $5.5k.
