Summary: Documentation on how to setup the Build-VM (via chef on GCP) to Development.md

On our GCP setup, we documented how to configure a VM as remote workstation to run Pixie on minikube using our registry. We wrote down the commands and hope others may find them useful.

Relevant Issues: N/A
Avoid having to bother the maintainers with questions about setting up development.

Type of change: /kind documentation

Test Plan: Tested this through the following
The tests were conducted manually on GCP by using a terraform code to create the VM/Network/Rules etc and then by manually logging in and running the commands exactly in the order given in Development.md
This could be done fully automated (via TF, ansible, chef), up to the point where px auth login requires interactivity.

Changelog Message: Added documentation for getting started with Pixie development via a development VM

Thanks for putting this together @entlein! Setting up our development environment has always come with a steep learning curve due to some undocumented aspects, but these updates will definitely make the process much smoother!
