Add Makefile, document fee configuration differences, consolidate genesis source of truth

[Copilot]

Several developer experience gaps: no task runner, undocumented fee discrepancies across environments, silent feeRecipient misconfiguration on testnet, and duplicated genesis files with no canonical source indicator.

Task Runner

• Makefile added at repo root with make help, make test-rpc, make test-ws, make backup
• requirements.txt added for Python test deps (requests, websockets)

Fee Configuration

• ## Fee Configuration section added to README with per-environment table:

  Parameter	Mainnet (Jade)	Testnet (Snow)	Devnet
  minBaseFee	100 Gwei	1 Gwei	100 Gwei
  allowFeeRecipients	true	true	not set

• allowFeeRecipients: true added to chains/testnet/genesis.json — previously absent, causing feeRecipient to be silently ignored and fees burned

• Fee recipient addresses documented (mainnet 0xe49a..., testnet 0xE021...) with notes on burn behavior when flag is absent

Genesis Consolidation

• Root genesis/*.json files (byte-identical copies of chains/testnet/) replaced with symlinks to chains/testnet/ as the canonical source, eliminating silent drift risk

README Fixes

• "Archieve Node" → "Archive Node" (TOC + heading)
• --whitelisted-subnets → --track-subnets (deprecated flag, two occurrences)

<issue_description>## Summary

Multiple medium-priority improvements for developer experience and configuration clarity:

1. No Makefile or task runner exists

The repository has no unified task runner. Developers must manually navigate directories and execute scripts individually. No requirements.txt for Python test dependencies (requests, websockets).

Fix: Add a Makefile with targets like make test-rpc, make test-ws, make backup, make help. Add requirements.txt for Python dependencies.

2. Mainnet minBaseFee is 100x higher than testnet (undocumented)

• chains/mainnet/genesis.json: "minBaseFee": 100000000000 (100 Gwei)
• chains/testnet/genesis.json: "minBaseFee": 1000000000 (1 Gwei)
• chains/devnet/genesis.json: "minBaseFee": 100000000000 (100 Gwei, matches mainnet)

Developers testing on testnet cannot predict mainnet gas costs. Devnet matches mainnet rather than testnet, despite being a development environment.

Fix: Document fee differences. Consider aligning devnet with testnet for progressive testing.

3. allowFeeRecipients config mismatch between environments

• chains/mainnet/genesis.json: "allowFeeRecipients": true
• chains/testnet/genesis.json: field absent (defaults to false)

Testnet validators using the feeRecipient config have fees silently burned instead of received.

Fix: Clarify which testnet genesis variant is active. Align allowFeeRecipients for consistent testing.

4. feeRecipient addresses undocumented

• Mainnet config: 0xe49a1220eE09Fbf0D25CA9e3BB8D5fD356Fc67FF
• Testnet config: 0xE021c9B8DC3953f4f7f286C44a63f5fF001EF481

No documentation about address type (EOA/multisig), ownership, or fee usage policy.

Fix: Add fee recipient documentation for community transparency.

5. Genesis files duplicated without canonical source indicator

genesis/ root directory contains byte-identical copies of chains/testnet/ files. subnet-cli/subnet-cli-wizard.sh references ../genesis/ while README references chains/ paths.

Fix: Designate chains/{env}/ as canonical. Replace root genesis/ with symlinks or remove entirely.

6. README typo "Archieve Node" and deprecated --whitelisted-subnets

• README.md line 37, 867: "Archieve" should be "Archive"
• --whitelisted-subnets is deprecated; current flag is --track-subnets

Fix: Fix typo and update deprecated flags.

Expected Impact

• Makefile improves developer onboarding significantly
• Fee documentation prevents cost surprises between environments
• Genesis consolidation prevents silent configuration drift
