Transition to package infrastructure

[quantum9Innovation]

Install, build, and running phases should be fully reproducible (this issue may require a whitepaper—#3)

Devenv seems like a promising solution; optional-use containers can be used to create provably reproducible environments

While it is common practice to run arbitrary shell scripts inside development shells, this is far from an ideal setup. Development shells are typically intended for rapid experimentation where this type of behavior may be more suitable, but for robust testing (e.g. in CI and even for local development) it will be necessary to ensure verifiable reproducibility. Shell scripts can potentially rely on packages that already exist on a specific system and utilize those configurations, making it impossible to determine whether the dependencies for a shell script have been appropriately included in the development shell and whether those specific versions are the ones being used. This can be easily solved by packaging each of the scripts and running the package (which will not even require using a development shell) to install the all_seaing_vehicle repository, build subpackages, and run nodes.
