Description

When creating a new node instance in the simulator it would be beneficial to be able to optionally specify the node's private key.
This would allow for more reproducible event sequences and further testing.
One such use case would be to test what happens when two nodes are using the same keypair.

Research direction

Start at the simulator UI flow for creating a new node and trace how its keypair is currently generated. Add an optional private-key input while retaining generated keys when it is omitted, then verify reproducible sequences including two nodes using the same keypair.
