Refer to mainnet as default #641

Docs only talked about testnet for a long time. Docs written after launch started talking about mainnet too, and now we have a mix.

All pages should be reviewed to make sure mainnet is referred too by default, and notes about testnet added when required (different URLs, or mechanisms, for example). Things to pay attention to:

How about the opposite (refer to testnet by default)?

One of the primary audiences for these docs is devs willing to integrate Symbol. In software development, devs usually test their solution locally and/or in pre before releasing it in prod (in this case, mainet).

Unlike with other systems, mistakes in blockchain can be costly, and it's hardly ever possible to go back to a previous state. For instance, imagine a newcomer buying XYM, playing with code examples, and announcing an unfortunate transaction with one more 0.

Hmmm... definitely something to think about. I think I agree with you.
