Implement create-channels scripts
The Typescript client has a create-channels utility that is useful for bootstrapping nitro nodes for manual tests. If we reimplement the utility in golang, we can use the utility when spinning up go-nitro nodes via docker. This allows for one make command to spin up an image with ledger and virtual channels created.
Since we absorbed the ts client into this repo, we could also just reuse the existing create channels utility in docker ?

We could, but this requires setting up node/yarn in docker. This will increase the docker image size and lengthen docker builds. Plus https://github.com/statechannels/go-nitro/pull/1408 is almost finished.

Good point. I went down that path today when playing around with embedding the GUI into go-nitro using Docker. A bit of food for thought.
