Feat/test install script

[BelfordZ]

Description:

This PR introduces several improvements to the validator-dashboard installer script to enhance usability, error handling, and compatibility for both interactive and non-interactive environments, especially in CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions.

Key Updates:

1. Support for Non-Interactive Execution:

   • The script can now run in both interactive and non-interactive modes.
   • Default values are automatically applied in non-interactive environments (e.g., when running in GitHub Actions), allowing the installer to proceed without requiring user input.
   • Interactive prompts are retained when run in a local, interactive shell for flexibility.

2. Improved Error Handling:

   • Better handling of common errors, such as missing directories, with clear and descriptive error messages.
   • Error trapping and reporting have been added to improve debugging, including capturing and displaying output from failed Docker builds.

3. Docker Image Build Improvements:

   • Docker image build output is now captured and displayed in the event of a failure, making troubleshooting easier.
   • The installer now lists the built Docker images after a successful build, providing visibility into the build process.

4. SSL Handling in Curl Requests:

   • The script now supports running curl with the -k option, which allows bypassing SSL verification issues (e.g., self-signed certificates) for testing environments.
   • curl is used with -f and -k in combination to fail gracefully on HTTP errors while ignoring SSL certificate problems.

5. Directory Setup and Feedback:

   • The script now ensures the target directory for the installation exists and provides feedback when creating or validating directories.
   • Status messages have been added throughout the script for better transparency and progress reporting, especially for critical steps like writing the .env file and building Docker images.

Benefits:

• CI/CD Compatibility: Improved support for automated environments like GitHub Actions, enabling seamless integration with non-interactive build pipelines.
• Enhanced Debugging: Better error reporting ensures issues are easier to identify and resolve.
• User-Friendly Prompts: Interactive and non-interactive modes offer flexibility, while new status messages improve clarity during the installation process.

I just bumped the version of the checkout action in the new workflow to clear out some deprecation warnings and. it looks like that worked so i'll approve and merge this in a sec
