Running a local Aserto Edge Authorizer with the aserto CLI: login, install, config, start

Per Aserto docs: the Edge Authorizer is a Topaz docker container managed through aserto install, config new/use, start, status, stop and update; --decision-logging sends decision logs to the control plane.

Context: Problem: You want a local Edge Authorizer (a Topaz instance) connected to the Aserto control plane. Steps: 1) aserto login to your Aserto account. 2) aserto install to pull the Topaz docker image (docker must be installed and running). 3) aserto config new -n [POLICYINSTANCENAME] --edge-authorizer=[EDGEAUTHORIZERCONNECTIONID] to create a local Topaz config that opens a mutual TLS connection to the control plane using downloaded certificates; add --decision-logging to forward decision logs. 4) aserto config use [POLICYINSTANCE_NAME] to select it. 5) aserto start to launch the container. Manage it with aserto status, aserto stop, and aserto update (bumps the image to latest).
