Title: [ARFC] Disable Stable Rate Borrowing for Aave V2 Ethereum Pool

Summary
Proposal to disable stable rate borrowing for the Aave V2 Ethereum pool to streamline the offboarding process from the legacy version of Aave.
Motivation
As Aave is gradually phasing out the legacy version, stable rates introduce friction to the offboarding process. Borrowers with stable rates are less influenced by interest rate strategy adjustments designed to encourage migration. To minimize these frictions in the future, the ACI proposes to prevent any new stable rate borrowing for the Aave V2 protocol.
Specification
The following assets currently support stable borrowing in the Aave V2 Ethereum pool:
| Asset | Protocol Version | Total Liquidity |
|---|---|---|
| USDT | v2 | 319.43m |
| WBTC | v2 | 20.43k |
| WETH | v2 | 409.12k |
| ZRX | v2 | 48.10m |
| BAT | v2 | 895.19k |
| ENJ | v2 | 3.53m |
| KNC | v2 | 50.65k |
| LINK | v2 | 10.09m |
| MANA | v2 | 2.32m |
| MKR | v2 | 5.01k |
| REN | v2 | 3.66m |
| USDC | v2 | 399.36m |
| LUSD | v2 | 562.56k |
The proposed change is to disable the stable rate borrowing feature for all assets in the Aave V2 Ethereum pool. Existing stable rate borrows will remain unaffected, but no new stable rate borrows will be allowed.

Next Steps
- Collect consensus from the community and risk teams.
- Escalate to the ARFC snapshot stage.
- If the snapshot outcome is YAE, escalate to the AIP stage.
