INIT: ignite testnet Command

[julienrbrt]

Ignite testnet is an alternative to ignite chain serve (command that re-build and runs a single node chain).
That command should be used when in development (next to ignite chain simulate), but when willing to perform more realistic tests (with devnets/testnets) users should use the ignite testnet command:

ignite testnet:

• multi-node

  • INIT: Multi Node (Validator) Testnet #4374

• in-place

  • INIT: In-Place Testnet Creation #4244

• interchaintest

@julienrbrt what were you thinking for interchaintest

@julienrbrt what were you thinking for interchaintest

Doesn't have to be interchaintest per se (could be starship from Cosmology too), but we need a way to test the all IBC flow easily.

Interchaintest is the most used framework, so if we could scaffold with that command the necessary things, and have a run command to run user defined tests and some default ones, then we have everything required for testing.

That part should probably be an app btw, so that we don't add the interchaintest dependency in cli.

Closing this as per https://github.com/interchainio/ICF-maintenance-plans:

Interchain Test: Deprioritized, ICF won’t continue funding. The repository is open-source, and contributors can manage it at their discretion. Interchain Inc. may contribute to the codebase.

If people request it they are free to create an Ignite App to integrate it.
