Stage 1 Smoke Test in CI/CD

[buddhisthead]

Title

Implement a basic smoke test that runs the node and compares a single transaction result. This runs on all PRs, using a CI runner, dispatched on AWS.

Description

The Stage 1 test should not be hard to do. Once we enable the UTxOs and ledger state checks in our e2e tests, we can run all the smoke tests that we already have.
The very first test would be just submitting a simple transaction and checking that it got adopted. Something like we do in test_transfer_funds.

Acceptance Criteria

All PRs trigger the running of this test and the test passes.
