Description

Currently, the instructions for getting started are hard to follow. They require you to manually check for prerequisites on your machine and run 4 separate commands. Some of these steps can be simplified.

I am envisioning two things: First is a new script in tools/local-env that checks for prerequises and reports failures in a friendly manner.

The second is a change to package.json so that a new npm run getstarted command which will run the preflight check from step one and the other which does the steps from https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/f40b60d4b2f00e6342753df4a1dc247fc99e286c/README.md#to-start-the-development-environment-for-the-first-time

It could also potentially call another new script which would print out some friendly info such as the username:password and links to make/core
