Description

A general pattern I think all rollups should land on as we move to a multi rollup world is the ability to get the rollup config on chain. This way you can bootstrap the arbitrum sdk with only the rpc url even if the rollup config hasn't been added to this sdk yet.

e.g.

const l2Network = await getL2NetworkFromRpc(
  l2RpcUrl /** <-- rpc url of target Arbitrum chain */
)

This allows us to more easily make tooling work for all chains without needing to specify the config within the library first or needing to tediously craft your own config

Research direction

Start by locating the SDK's existing getL2Network functionality and the entry point represented by getL2NetworkFromRpc. Determine how an RPC URL could provide the on-chain rollup configuration, then verify that the resulting l2Network can bootstrap the SDK without a pre-added chain configuration.
