test/e2e: add random testnet generator (#5479)

Closes #5291. Adds a randomized testnet generator. Nightly CI job will be submitted separately. A few of the testnets can be a bit flaky, even after disabling known-faulty behavior and making minor tweaks, and the larger networks may be too resource-intensive to run in CI - this will be optimized separately.

 Testnets are specified as TOML manifests. For an example see [`networks/ci.toml`](networks/ci.toml), and for documentation see [`pkg/manifest.go`](pkg/manifest.go).
 
+## Random Testnet Generation
+
+Random (but deterministic) combinations of testnets can be generated with `generator`:
+
+```sh
+./build/generator -d networks/generated/
+
+# Split networks into 8 groups (by filename)
+./build/generator -g 8 -d networks/generated/

+
+Multiple testnets can be run with the `run-multiple.sh` script:

+```sh
+./run-multiple.sh networks/generated/gen-group3-*.toml
+```

 ## Test Stages
 
 The test runner has the following stages, which can also be executed explicitly by running `./build/runner -f <manifest> <stage>`:
