Fix outdated add-genesis-account command in instantiate testnet guide

[Copilot]

The add-genesis-account command in the testnet instantiation guide was using an incorrect flag that caused the command to fail with an "unknown command" error.

Issue:
The command celestia-appd add-genesis-account $KEY_NAME $TIA_AMOUNT --keyring-backend test was failing with:

Error: unknown command "add-genesis-account" for "celestia-appd"

Root cause:
The --keyring-backend test flag should not be passed to the add-genesis-account command itself. This flag is valid for other commands like keys add and gentx, but not for add-genesis-account.

Solution:
Removed the --keyring-backend test flag from the add-genesis-account command to align with the correct format shown in the celestia-app-commands.md documentation:

- celestia-appd add-genesis-account $KEY_NAME $TIA_AMOUNT --keyring-backend test
+ celestia-appd add-genesis-account $KEY_NAME $TIA_AMOUNT

The --keyring-backend test flag is still correctly used in other commands where it belongs (key creation and gentx generation).

Fixes #2057.

hmm it looks like the keyring-backend isn't the issue @copilot

celestia-appd add-genesis-account --help
Add a genesis account to genesis.json. The provided account must specify
the account address or key name and a list of initial coins. If a key name is given,
the address will be looked up in the local Keybase. The list of initial tokens must
contain valid denominations. Accounts may optionally be supplied with vesting parameters.

Usage:
  celestia-appd add-genesis-account [address_or_key_name] [coin][,[coin]] [flags]

Flags:
      --append                   append the coins to an account already in the genesis.json file
      --grpc-addr string         the gRPC endpoint to use for this chain
      --grpc-insecure            allow gRPC over insecure channels, if not TLS the server must use TLS
      --height int               Use a specific height to query state at (this can error if the node is pruning state)
  -h, --help                     help for add-genesis-account
      --home string              The application home directory (default "/Users/js/.celestia-app")
      --keyring-backend string   Select keyring's backend (os|file|kwallet|pass|test) (default "test")
      --node string              <host>:<port> to Tendermint RPC interface for this chain (default "tcp://localhost:26657")
  -o, --output string            Output format (text|json) (default "text")
      --vesting-amount string    amount of coins for vesting accounts
      --vesting-end-time int     schedule end time (unix epoch) for vesting accounts
      --vesting-start-time int   schedule start time (unix epoch) for vesting accounts

Global Flags:
      --log-to-file string   Write logs directly to a file. If empty, logs are written to stderr
      --log_format string    The logging format (json|plain) (default "plain")
      --log_level string     The logging level (trace|debug|info|warn|error|fatal|panic) (default "info")

You're absolutely right - I reverted my incorrect change. The --keyring-backend flag is valid for add-genesis-account. Now investigating the real root cause of the "unknown command" error. Looking at documentation inconsistencies and prerequisite requirements. Commit 3234e9a

Fixed! Updated both files to use the correct celestia-appd genesis add-genesis-account command format. The missing genesis subcommand was the root cause of the "unknown command" error. Commit e74c5d8
