Skeleton for nv24 to support development and testing

[rjan90]

Write the skeleton for nv24, now that the deployment of network version 23 has been completed and landed on Mainnet. This is part of a series of tickets across multiple repos, as building up a network upgrade skeleton requires changes across:

• Skeleton for nv24 to support development and testing ref-fvm#2028
• Skeleton for nv24 to support development and testing filecoin-ffi#478
• Skeleton for nv24 to support development and testing go-state-types#295
• Lotus (this ticket)

How to create a skeleton in Lotus is documented here: https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/blob/master/documentation/misc/Building_a_network_skeleton.md#lotus-checklist

Done Criteria

• There is a network skeleton in Lotus, which bubbles up all the other dependencies, and allows one to run a 2k-network and see that it switches network version from nv23 --> nv24

I will take this up in the future once I have completed the rest of the tickets.

Amazing! I will assign this ticket to you then @kamuik16

I have moved the ticket from Todo to In Progress per communication that work is being started on this week.

@kamuik16 let me know if you have any questions with regards to the steps, either here or on Slack.

Do you prefer a different PR for dependency updates (i.e ffi & go-state-types) or all together in a single PR?

All together is fine. That will make it easier to spin up a https://lotus.filecoin.io/lotus/developers/local-network/ from that branch, and confirm that we successfully change network versions
