Experimental Feature - Running with Indexer

Note Similar to the fullnode db, all state will be wiped upon restart

1. Follow the Prerequisites section in the sui-indexer README to set up the postgresdb on your local machine
2. Make sure the Posgresdb starts on your local machine
3. run RUST_LOG="consensus=off" ./target/debug/sui-test-validator --with-indexer
4. To check your local db, if you use the default db url postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/sui_indexer, you can login to the postgres database and run \dt to show all tables.
