Consider using config state instead of genesis transaction #4685

I mean, we did not need any instructions for the genesis domain and account registered, which means we already have an assumption on the initial state across peers. Also, the genesis transaction goes through no validations. If so, why not have wonderland, alice, executor, chain ID, etc. as a configurable initial state?

can we get a more detailed description what is this about?

After #4225 and #4555, the only advantage I can think of for working on this ("genesis state", essentially same as #4409) is to remove a branch of whether it is genesis round or not. I'm not sure if it would be a benefit
