thesilk-tux 79dcce1674 update local chain name in docker-compose and docu (#1009)
* update local chain name in docker-compose and docu

the name of a local network changed from local to polkadot-local so
some local test environments were broken and the ticket #965 was
created

* using CLI flags --alice in local dev

as this directly adds the required keys to the keystore

### Local Two-node Testnet
If you want to see the multi-node consensus algorithm in action locally, then
you can create a local testnet. You'll need two terminals open. In one, run:
```bash
polkadot --chain=poladot-local --alice -d /tmp/alice
```
and in the other, run:
```bash
polkadot --chain=polkadot-local --bob -d /tmp/bob --port 30334 --bootnodes '/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/30333/p2p/ALICE_BOOTNODE_ID_HERE'
```
Ensure you replace `ALICE_BOOTNODE_ID_HERE` with the node ID from the output of
the first terminal.
