feat: require bbr by default (#3774)

This PR adds a requirement to use bbr by default. This requirement can
be bypassed by using a flag. Warnings are returned when installing, and
there is a makefile command that will configure the system to use bbr.

Most of this PR is copying over the start command from the sdk.
Alternatively, we could simply modify the sdk. That would not require
copy past forking, but the trend has been that every change that we make
to the sdk eventually gets moved here, so I figured we should just skip
to doing that. This also gives us finer grained control in the future.
I'm definitely not tied to this approach, and if we'd rather change our
fork, then I'm happy go do that instead.

closes #3745

 ## Usage
 
+First, make sure that the [BBR](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-cardwell-iccrg-bbr-congestion-control-01.html) ("Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time") congestion control algorithm is enabled in the
+system's kernel. The result should contain `bbr`:
+
+```sh
+sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control
+```
+
+If not, enable it on Linux by calling the `make use-bbr` or by running:
+
+```sh
+sudo modprobe tcp_bbr
+net.core.default_qdisc=fq
+net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr
+sudo sysctl -p
