Description

Raised by @Braqzen, it would be great to have some sort of faucet for getting test funds on the CLI.

Currently our web faucet uses a captcha as a kind of rate-limit to stop folks programmatically rinsing the faucet. It might be tricky to achieve something as effective on a CLI that cannot be trivially worked around.

At the very least, we should provide a link to the web faucet for the user in the default help output or something along these lines.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to integrate a faucet link or functionality into the CLI. Look at existing web faucet implementation and consider rate limiting strategies. Focus on providing a simple link or a basic CLI faucet with rate limiting.
