It seems to me that this will always disable checks in the devnode.
Can we enable dev_skip_checks only if the Leo build feature flag devnode_skip_checks is enabled, so developers can also use the devnode with checks enabled?

And maybe you can also write some comments giving context to future developers:
// We set test_consensus_heights to give developers freedom to set custom consensus version upgrade heights.
// We set test_targets because the devnode's genesis block was created with the same feature flag
| // Prepare the new block. | ||
| let new_block = rest | ||
| .ledger | ||
| .prepare_advance_to_next_beacon_block(&private_key, vec![], vec![], txs, &mut rand::thread_rng()) |

It's a bit funky that all transactions will be pushed into the first block. But I don't think we should necessarily change it. Maybe add a comment for clarity.
Motivation
leo devnode is a new tool that creates a local development network to enable developers to rapidly test and iterate through Aleo program design.
leo devnode has two commands: leo devnode start which deploys a local network at localhost:3030 and leo devnode advance which creates a block and adds it to the ledger. leo devnode advance takes an optional value n which advances the ledger by n blocks. Default value is 1.
Furthermore, this PR adds a --skip-execution-proof flag for leo execute commands. This flag will generate transactions without proofs.
A --manual-block-create flag will enable developers to broadcast multiple transactions to a queue without creating a block. In order to advance the ledger, users will need to use the leo devnode advance command.
