Configuration scripts for local VMs

I currently use lima-vm to run local linux VMs on my M1 macbook.

I don't generally use any lima features aside from start/stop.

I connect to my VMs via SSH manually instead of limactl shell XYZ so that I can specify ForwardAgent yes and have access to my host ssh keys inside my VM.

This is my main pain point currently, the SSH port used changes every time the VM restarts, so I have to manually update my ~/.ssh/config.

TODO -- this can be fixed lima-vm/lima#810

See newvm.sh for a simple script to create a VM and get the SSH config.

See lima.yaml for some setup scripts that installs dependencies and sets up my dotfiles etc.
