Description

As a node operator, I would like Besu to be able to parse configs in the same way as other clients, so interoperability testing and multi-client network operation is simpler.

@non-fungible-nelson are there testing vectors for this? What doesn't work right now?

the above shows that two separate genesis files are needed for devnet-2, in this case. one for Besu, the other for the remaining clients.

@non-fungible-nelson in case the extra parsing, needed to detect in which format the genesis file is, will impact in a significant way the work done to parse large genesis file, could be an option to introduce a new dedicated option (for example --standard-genesis-file) when the user want to use the Geth-style genesis, and keeping the current --genesis-file as the optimized path?
