feat: introduce 'tutor dev quickstart'

Add `tutor dev quickstart` command, which is equivalent to
`tutor local quickstart`, but uses dev containers instead
of local production ones. This should remove some friction
from the Open edX development setup process, which previously
required that users provision using local producation
containers but then stop them and switch to dev containers:
 * tutor local quickstart
 * tutor local stop
 * tutor dev start -d

Fixes openedx-unsupported/wg-developer-experience#58

 In addition to running Open edX in production, Tutor can be used for local development of Open edX. This means that it is possible to hack on Open edX without setting up a Virtual Machine. Essentially, this replaces the devstack provided by edX.

-Once the local platform has been configured, you should stop it so that it does not interfere with the development environment::
+This will perform several tasks:
 
-    tutor local stop

-Finally, you should build the ``openedx-dev`` docker image::

This `domain <https://dnschecker.org/#A/local.overhang.io>`__ and its `subdomains <https://dnschecker.org/#CNAME/studio.local.overhang.io>`__ were set up to point to 127.0.0.1, allowing Tutor users to conveniently access a locally running Open edX platform.
