Discussion on where sui network start/stop/genesis should occur in Rest Server

[arun-koshy]

For context, as part of the GDC deliverables we have been pushing to get a game demo created that interacts with the sui network via rest endpoints. To do this we are hosting a rest server on AWS for the game developers to use. This rest server (PR#454) currently exposes network related endpoints (start/stop/genesis of sui) so that the developers can start and stop the network as they see fit. This has caused some confusion as this is not something that would typically be done in a Rest Server.

Post GDC the rest server should operate independently of the Sui Network startup/genesis. However this is only the case if we have a shared network that clients will all be using. It is also possible that we are going to be allowing game developers to all spawn up their own networks in which case maybe the rest server binary would include startup/genesis code.

This issue is to clarify what the expectations are of the Sui network moving forward and how the Rest Server can properly be designed around that.
