fixes NC-2026 adds a `--network` option instead of separated options Networks are now defined using a `--network` option that takes the case insensitive name of an enum values as input : MAINNET, RINKEBY, ROPSTEN, GOERLI, DEV These presets are a set of network-id, genesis file and boonodes list. If the `--genesis-file` is provided with a valid JSON genesis file, Pantheon uses it instead of the default network. An empty bootnodes list is then the default value and network id is the chain id found in the genesis file. `--network-id` and `--bootnodes` options can override these defaults. You can of course also override the `--network-id` and `--bootnodes` for a predefined known network (using `--network`). User have no reason to set `--network` and `--genesis-file` options at the same time that would lead to misunderstandings so we raise an error to prevent both options to be defined at the same time on the command line. Also fixes NC-2189 renaming --private-genesis-file to --genesis-file Updates a lot of doc according to the options changes Signed-off-by: Adrian Sutton <adrian.sutton@consensys.net>

Accounts for Testing
You can use existing accounts for testing by including them in the genesis file for a private network. Alternatively, Pantheon provides predefined accounts in development mode.
Development Mode
When you start Pantheon with the --network=dev
command line option, the dev.json genesis file is used by default.
The dev.json genesis file defines the accounts below that can be used for testing.
{!global/test_accounts.md!}
Genesis File
To use existing test accounts, specify the accounts and balances in a genesis file for your test network.
For an example of defining accounts in the genesis file, refer to dev.json.
Use the --genesis-file command line option to
start Pantheon with the genesis file defining the existing accounts.
