Add getting started node <=> client tutorial

[phklive]

After discussion with @Dominik1999 and @hackaugusto we decided to propose the addition of a getting started guide enabling a newcomer to user the core features of the Miden rollup.

I have been able to deploy an EC2 instance on AWS running the node. We are able to send queries and get responses from it's RPC. We can now use it as a testing ground for the Miden rollup.

Depends on: 0xPolygonMiden/miden-node#200

This looks good! I think it's a kind of expectable that the client will change and this will have to be maintained, so I wonder if this should be more generic and have this living somewhere else. But in general I think it looks good.

Nice done @phklive !

I like that you are quick and pragmatic in this. After you have implemented the small changes, I will give it a try.

Can we maybe already deploy a faucet account on the remote node? Then the user just needs to create account A and account B. That might be easier and more intuitive.

The faucet account should already exist on the remote node - but users won't be able to get assets from it as executing transactions against the faucet account requires knowing its state and performing authorization.

One potential way to address it, is to have a simple website where the users could go, enter their account ID, and ask the faucet account to send them some tokens. Maybe this can even be run on the same machine as the node. Should we create an issue for this?

Thank you! Looks good! Once @igamigo and @Dominik1999 comments are addressed, this is good to merge.

Let's create an issue to revisit this in the future. The primary reason is that while the node/client are rapidly changing, this section is likely to get out of sync pretty quickly.

Another reasons is that we'd eventually want a more comprehensive "Getting started" guide which would cover probably a few more topics (e.g., running node in the local environment, writing firs smart contract, maybe something else) but probably not in as much depth.
