Setting up Drivechain Environment from Scratch on Console

This is a naive setup of Drivechain, which includes:

Bitcoin Patched – Adds OP_DRIVECHAIN, makes Drivechain transactions standard, removes OP_RETURN standards, allows configurable Signet block time, and changes the default data directory.
BIP300 and BIP301 Enforcer
Thunder

Note: I use screen to create a virtual terminal, but it's totally optional.
