Implement a mechanism to start the nodes in either production or dev modes #167
Description
Implement a mechanism to allow for nodes to be started either in production or dev modes.
- When the nodes are run in production mode they’re meant to mimic their respective mainnets in all aspects including the block time, the block sealing time, the gas limit, and all other areas. This will be useful for differential benchmarking.
- When the nodes are run in dev mode they’re meant to be as quick as possible and to provide instant feedback. Oftentimes the block gas limit is set to a very high value alongside instant sealing of blocks and other parameters too. This will be useful for differential testing.
This is very relevant to differential benchmarking.
