Solidity Burn Address

Discussion for introducing a burn address in Solidity. This idea is to create a Hedera system account or contract id to serve as a universal burn address---for example, contract 0.0.888. It will be implicitly associated to every HTS token.

There are certain use cases where one would wants to make an amount of fungible tokens inaccessible but still part of the total supply. One example is the quantity MINIMUM_LIQUIDITY in UniswapV2, which ensures nonzero liquidity for token pair in a smart contract.

The convention for burn address in Solidity is address(0), example on etherscan.
