Ship one-click machine image for Lotus nodes so that it is easy to get started, and bake-in some state downloading so we can jumpstart the sync process.

#### Assumptions & hypotheses

We believe being able to deploy Lotus nodes with a single click will significantly reduce startup friction. The proposed image will download a `.car` file from an S3 bucket with a usable chain state, which should complete about 20 minutes after the one-click is fired up, rather than taking days.

#### User workflow example

User is linked to marketplace.digitalocean.com URL from the docs, then they click "Create" to fire up a Lotus node on their DigitalOcean account. After making a couple selections about the machine they'd like to run the software on, it is created with Lotus installed, and a script fires to download the .car file. Shortly afterwards (ETA 20 minutes) the node is live.

This is a huge pain point now, we're reducing the number of steps significantly and the startup time is reduced to a fraction of the original.
