In anticipation of cargo test based simulation tests, this patch introduces a Timoni module and justfile to manaually deploy a basic Radicle network inside of K8s defined in the instances/network.cue.

The Timoni module creates a set of roles: peer, seed, bootstrap that can be arranged into toplogies for deployment in a k8s system. Images are provided by Radicle Garden via quay.io.

Talos is the K8s cluster manager, provisioning by default on QEMU.

The network.cue topology definition creates a v1.8.0 peer and bootstrap node that can be manually interacted with inside the simulation network.

Rebased

simulation: Extract external address configuration bash commands

Names the set of commands that extract the external address and set in the configuration of the start script for seed and bootstrap nodes.

simulation: Switch externalAddress config parsing to jq
