High level summary

Enhancements to the CLI encompass several noteworthy additions. These include the introduction of a new hardfork initiation command, rendering --prev-governance-action-tx-id optional for create-no-confidence actions, addressing scenarios where the committee is defined in the Conway Genesis file, and refining help texts. Additionally, there have been updates to the description fields in governance action files.

Adjust maximum understood protocol version from 9 to 10 when the experimental hardforks flag is enabled. This allows us to bypass Conway's bootstrap phase in testing

Continued work in testing implementation of CIP1694 with cardano-testnet.
