Allow running prombench locally

[geekodour]

Currently prombench development requires the user to setup GKE environment. Having prombench to run in a local k8s cluster would make adding changes much easier and faster. Support for kubeconfig and a proper way to switch local and GKE environment is not available yet. Adding these features will be essential to the completion of the project.

This most probably will require adding a local provider to https://github.com/prometheus/test-infra/tree/master/pkg/provider

Since prombench runs in multiple nodes, we can explore k8s/kind but open to other suggestions for this.
