Subject: [PATCH] program: Allow mints with a freeze authority

#### Problem

The stake pool program does not allow pool creators to provide a mint
with a freeze authority. The logic was that we always wanted to allow
users to get their tokens out of the pool.

However, this limitation is a bit too harsh. DeFi protocols, for
example, don't restrict trading based on freeze authorities present in
the mint.

#### Summary of changes

Allow mints with a freeze authority during pool creation.
