PortalNetwork: Deal with rough edges in network startup and CLI Support for Portal Network Node

[cjustinobi]

This PR deals with rough edges in network startup and also implementation for creating and interacting with a Portal Network node. The key features of this PR include:

UltralightProvider Default

• Added default bindaddress and bootnodes

Portal Network node

• Dynamic Method Execution: Adds support for invoking Portal Network methods dynamically based on user input via CLI arguments.
• CLI Parameters:
  • --method: Specifies the Portal Network method to invoke (e.g., portal_statePing).
  • --params: Provides JSON-encoded parameters for the method being called.
  • --port: Defines the port on which the node will run (default: 9090).
• Node Creation: Implements a createNode function to initialize a Portal Network node using PortalNetwork.create with secure key generation and multiaddr configuration.
• Network Messaging: Adds a helper function, `sendN

This is a great start! Have left some feedback and looking forward to thinking through some of the details.

Is this check really needed since you're providing a default value in DEFAULT_OPTS?

[acolytec3]

@ScottyPoi what do you think about adding these defaults to PortalNetwork.create as well? I'm trying to think of a reason we wouldn't want the bootnodes list to be an optional default in the create method for the base client and not just the provider here.

[ScottyPoi]

I think PortalNetwork.create should still default to an empty bootnodes list so the client doesn't automatically ping all of the bootnodes every time we run a test

[acolytec3]

This is a really interesting idea but we need to have the example script in portalnetwork for this to make sense.

So, for starters, let's move your portalClient.ts script from packages/cli/scripts to a new packages/portalnetwork/examples directory.

Second, since your code is instantiating an UltralightProvider instead of a pure portal network client, can you invoke the provider.request method instead of accessing the provider.portal APIs?

Otherwise, can you rewrite the script so it instantiates a pure Portal Network client via PortalNetwork.create instead of the provider?

[acolytec3]

Let's replace this with a pure PortalNetwork client instead of the UltralightProvider since you're not accessing the provider methods.

Here is the complete list of the 15 public ultralight nodes:

Thanks this looks great. There are some of our public bootnodes missing from the list. We have 15 total. I left a complete list in a comment.

[acolytec3]

LGTM!
