[Environment] Automate setting environment variables #155

Closed JonathanMace closed 8 months ago

JonathanMace commented 8 months ago

It is cumbersome for Blueprint users to set environment variables manually when deploying the system and running clients.

adds a plugin to automatically generate a .local.env and a .env file in the root output directory that can be sourced to set service address environment variables
updates the runtime namespace implementation to consult environment variables as default values for command-line arguments.
updates the cmdbuilder to add a flag to toggle whether environment variables should be generated; by default enabled

Additionally this PR:

renames the wiringcmd plugin to cmdbuilder to be consistent with the documentation; we have been calling it cmdbuilder erroneously but it makes sense to call it cmdbuilder.
go mod tidy on many packages
regenerates READMEs for many packages
some minor tweaks, bugfixes, etc.
