Starting a local p2pnode with the default play setup revealed that a bootstrap node was required to
have at least one other bootstrap node configured:

Error: failed to instantiate p2pnode: no bootstrap peers configured
failed to instantiate p2pnode: no bootstrap peers configured
Error: rolling-shutter returned with non-zero exit code 1
This is because due to the hardcoded number of 1 bootstrap node in the generated play config,
the sole bootstrapper has no other bootstrap node configures.
While it makes sense to require at least 1 bootstrap node configured for a peer, the p2p network should be
be bootstrapped by only one bootstrap node.
Additionally, the previously hardcoded number of bootstrappers is now exposed via the PLAY_NUM_BOOTSRAPPERS env-var and still defaults to 1.
