Have a 'server launched' message with links to key tools

Today booting up a site looks like:

❯ yarn rw dev

Which is pretty noisy sure, but the tricky thing for me personally is that the interesting info is dispersed within that body of text. Now, I get that what I'm looking at is at least 3 separate processes api, web and gen - so knowing when they are ready is a tricky problem, but what an ideal state looks like to me is that at the end there's a "ready" summary

❯ yarn rw dev
yarn run v1.22.4

# bootup stuff

Your Redwood app is ready to view in the browser:

 - ✔ Web: http://localhost:8910
 - ✔ API: http://localhost:8911
    - http://localhost:8911/graphql 3791 ms
    - http://localhost:8911/auth 2 ms
    - http://localhost:8911/stripeWebhook 67 ms
    - http://localhost:8911/uploadPuzzle 3 m

 - ✔ GraphiQL:  http://localhost:8911/graphql 
 - ✔ SDL & Prisma Watchers

And maybe include whatever http://127.0.0.1:63981 does.

The rw dev command should know how many processes there is, so an implementation could have each leave some sort of ready message in a deterministic place which is picked up by the outer process to say ready to launch.

An even more ideal state is that most of that boot up stuff is hidden unless something goes wrong, but that's a really, really tricky problem.

This is a great idea!

For the Redwood Core Team, I'm prioritizing this as a post-v1 discussion topic. If anyone is interested in working on this sooner, just reply and we can discuss next steps and timing.
