Upgrade hopr-chat binary to allow start alice/bob from one node to improve quickstart experience #194

Right now, to run the full quickstart demo you need another node up and running to talk and reach. Since we don't have an easy way to pipe out the chat of the bootstrap node, we need to upgrade the binary to allow users to run two nodes locally to talk to each other.

[ ] Discuss options on modifying the db and/or having multiple users running in one binary
[ ] Do the necessary changes to either hopr-demo-seeds or hopr-chat respectively.

Although the initial idea for this one was good, we opted instead for having the chatbot (see https://github.com/hoprnet/hopr-chatbot), which allows users to check whether they are connected. Our work will focus then more on having users try to talk to the chatbot rather than trying to talk to themselves. Closing this for now.
