kevinbogner 99ec9d9baf Add Run a Node guide (#3681)
## Issue Addressed

Related to #3672  

## Proposed Changes

- Added a guide to run a node. Mainly, copy and paste from 'Merge Migration' and 'Checkpoint Sync'.
- Ranked it high in ToC:
  - Introduction
  - Installation
  - Run a Node
  - Become a Validator
	...
- Hid 'Merge Migration' in ToC.

## Additional Info

- Should I add/rephrase/delete something?
- Now there is some redundancy:
  - 'Run a node' and 'Checkpoint Sync' contain similar information.
  - Same for 'Run a node' and 'Become a Validator'.
