Add racing kings arenas (daily/weekly/monthly etc.)

#28 Honestly I feel the same way and although I'm offering the explanations offered to me, IMHO there are many Racing Kings fans who enjoy these so-called "unpopular" events. But I've been a RK advocate even before it was released so perhaps I'm biased.
@Toadofsky Can't you and the lichess staff reunite and come to a conclusion about this issue? I mean, it is not as if we were asking a lot. We just simply want racing kings to be treated just like every other variant. It is sort of being discriminated.
@Toadofsky Before removing the racing kings daily arena, all of the 8 lichess had an official tournament on the same day though.
@Toadofsky Here are some unofficial tournaments that has been created in the last two days, and as you can see, an average of 25 people are showing up (if we exclude the last one). I hope this can show that there are still people that care about racing kings on this site, and I will do my best to keep that variant alive.

The Revival of RK tournaments were pretty fun, and a lot of people (including me) started playing them.
Though I wasn't able to participate (due to a camping trip with no electronic devices allowed) in the 5th and 6th RKs, I was happy to see other players having fun in the arenas.
