[cherry-pick #18204] Cherry pick refactoring of sui-test-validator crate into sui to release v1.28 branch

[stefan-mysten]

This PR integrates sui-test-validator binary into sui start, but keeps the crate for now before being deprecated.

• the default behaviour of the existing sui start is preserved
• the default sui-test-validator behaviour can be achieved by passing two flags: sui start --force-regenesis --with-faucet.
• adds a sui-test-validator.sh bash script that is executable to keep backward compatibility with the previous binary
• keeps the sui-test-validator binary for now.
• changed default port for GraphQL to 9125

One difference in flag/options usage is that sui-test-validator used to start graphql service when the graphql-port arg was passed. To keep it consistent across all three services, they each have their own flag to use to start the service with default host and port, and a port can be provided to it as well:

• --with-faucet or --with-faucet=9123
• --with-indexer or --with-indexer=9124
• --with-graphql or --with-graphql=9125

Previously, sui-test-validator exposed a few flags and options (see orig code
here), which were migrated to sui start. There are two new flags in sui start, --with-graphql and --with-faucet, to make it easier to start these services with default values. Due to this, the bash script checks for multiple flags and their values and tries to ensure everything is passed correctly.

sui-test-validator implemented a simple faucet wrapper of the sui-faucet crate. This was moved into faucet.rs module in sui crate.

Given that there are three extra services that can be started, plus a configuration variable to start the network without a fullnode, here is an explanation of what each service requires:
graphql requires indexer - without an indexer, the GraphQL will have no data to serve. --with-indexer will be implied if --with-graphql is passed. indexer requires fullnode - without a fullnode, the indexer will start ingesting mainnet data with default settings. The program throws an error here.

Check each box that your changes affect. If none of the boxes relate to your changes, release notes aren't required.

For each box you select, include information after the relevant heading that describes the impact of your changes that a user might notice and any actions they must take to implement updates.

• Protocol:
• Nodes (Validators and Full nodes):
• Indexer:
• JSON-RPC:
• GraphQL:
• CLI: Integrated sui-test-validator into sui start.

sui start can now be used to also start an indexer, a GraphQL service, or a faucet. Note that you need to build sui with --features indexer, and have installed libpq to start the indexer and GraphQL services. By default, this feature is turned off to preserve backward compatibility of sui start. Alternatively, you can download the latest release and use the sui-pg binary, which is built using the indexer feature.

• the default behaviour of the existing sui start is preserved
• the default sui-test-validator behaviour can be achieved by passing two flags: sui start --force-regenesis --with-faucet.
• adds a sui-test-validator.sh bash script to sui/scripts folder that is executable to keep backward compatibility with the previous binary
• Rust SDK:
