Guide for launching a local testnet

[nsjames]

We have removed the bios boot guide which was outdated, and left an edge-journey out of documentation.

The process of launching a local testnet is not a good one though, and it's likelier to be a downloadable script than a guide, something that just gets things up and running quickly. Possibly as an addition to an existing tool

By chance, I had to create a script to do this over the weekend.

This doesn't take into account multiple producers, but that's likely not a requirement.
This just sets up an EOS-like local network very quickly.
