docs: add Portal Loop concept page (#1582)
## Description This PR adds the Portal Loop concept page to the docs. I propose we hold on merging this until `gno.land` is live. EDIT: Portal Loop is live on [gno.land](https://gno.land) so we can merge this PR. <details><summary>Contributors' checklist...</summary> - [x] Added new tests, or not needed, or not feasible - [x] Provided an example (e.g. screenshot) to aid review or the PR is self-explanatory - [x] Updated the official documentation or not needed - [x] No breaking changes were made, or a `BREAKING CHANGE: xxx` message was included in the description - [x] Added references to related issues and PRs - [x] Provided any useful hints for running manual tests - [ ] Added new benchmarks to [generated graphs](https://gnoland.github.io/benchmarks), if any. More info [here](https://github.com/gnolang/gno/blob/master/.benchmarks/README.md). </details>

# Portal Loop | ||
|
||
Portal Loop is an always-up-to-date staging testnet that allows for using | ||
the latest version of Gno, Gno.land, and TM2. By utilizing the power of Docker | ||
& the [tx-archive](https://github.com/gnolang/tx-archive) tool, the Portal Loop can run the latest code from the | ||
master branch on the [Gno monorepo](https://github.com/gnolang/gno), | ||
while preserving most/all the previous the transaction data. | ||
|
||
The Portal Loop allows for quick iteration on the latest version of Gno - without | ||
having to make a hard/soft fork. | ||
|
||
Below is a diagram demonstrating how the Portal Loop works: | ||

||
## Using the Portal Loop | ||
|
||
The Portal Loop deployment can be found at [gno.land](https://gno.land), while | ||
the exposed RPC endpoints can be found on `https://rpc.gno.land:443`. The RPC endpoint | ||
list can be found in the [reference section](../reference/rpc-endpoints.md). | ||
|
||
### A warning note | ||
|
||
While allowing for quick iteration on the most up-to-date software, the Portal Loop | ||
has some drawbacks: | ||
- If a breaking change happens on `master`, transactions that used the previous version of | ||
Gno will fail to be replayed, meaning **data will be lost**. | ||
- Since transactions are archived and replayed during genesis, | ||
block height & timestamp cannot be relied upon. |
