Add support for signet
We would like to be able to run a stacks-node against a Bitcoin Signet network.
Known tasks:
- [ ] Adding a some constants in stackslib/src/burnchains/bitcoin/indexer.rs
- [ ] Adding a
bitcoin_signetfunction in stackslib/src/burnchains/mod.rs - [ ] Adding signet support in testnet/stacks-node/src/config.rs

@obycode my biggest ask here is that we use normalized names for the network, i.e. signet vs noble gas names
Also maybe useful to start versioning like we've discussed. Something like signet-1
after speaking to jude about this, i get the sense that it would be quite a large change to the stacks-core codebase, some of it quite complex.
i think we should keep this open, but move it to icebox as future work since i don't see this happening anytime soon.
we do have viable testnet options using bitcoin regtest as a burnchain for now (particularly when combined with https://github.com/stacks-network/bitcoin-p2p-firewall to prevent blockstorms/reorgs while allowing external participants to sync both the burnchain and the stacks testnet.
moving this to icebox for now since it's a pretty substantial amount of changes
