Bootstrap devtool to pre-generate test network experiments data

Context

As part of the effort to run experiments on a testnet, we will write a set of scripts that will help with the generation of data needed to bootstrap and stress-test a network. These will be written using Tezt, to facilitate a future integration with Octogram.

So far the following tasks have been identified that can be run to setup an experiment:

  • Generating the baker keys that will be used in the testnet (!9742 (merged))
  • Generate the network configuration for nodes that will be used in the testnet (!9743 (merged))
  • Generate the network activation parameters (!9747 (merged))
  • Generate the list of manager operations that will be injected in the network when running an experiment
  • Partition the list of bakers by pods/nodes, this can also be used in conjunction with ./octez-stresstest command (!9758 (merged))

The following script will make use of the outputs from the three scripts above to run the stresstest on several nodes:

  • Run stresstest (TBP)

Further information can be found in this (WIP) document: https://hackmd.io/lwfQN9JoQWqcYRKqn8gVsw

This MR defines the skeleton of the Tezt application that will be used to run the scripts mentioned above. All scripts are left unimplemented and will be implemented in a future MR.

Manually testing the MR
