Test and Documentation Plan

We should manually test the generate.sh script for all the flags (-f/-p/-a/-e/-i).
Maybe we should run the two FREE/PAID config files on CircleCI, although one can see that they are identical to the current LOWRES/MIDRES.

Description

Currently the -h designation is wasteful and should not be used, and the -f designation won't actually successfully run to completion.

We should default to a "free tier" config (probably print a warning that it's generating config w/subset of full tests that should not be used to validate commits in big warning letters) that runs a subset of the test suites for users working on patches to validate their work (unit test only? unit + in-jvm dtest? TBD), and add a flag to generate a config using larger containers + parallelization for the "paid" tier for folks w/paid circleci accounts.,

It looks like -p is available right now fwiw.
