Add hardhat.config options for local node like forks have

I'd like to be able to set the blocknumber and timestamp inside of my hardhat.config file for the local hardhat network. You can achieve this easily on a forked network:

networks: {
    hardhat: {
      blockConfirmations: 1,
      forking: {
        url: process.env.FORKING_URL,
        blockNumber: 17372500,
      },
    },

But if I wanted to set the block number on my local network, it doesn't work or give the user any warning/error message:

 networks: {
    hardhat: {
      blockConfirmations: 1,
      blockNumber: 17372500,
    },
  },

For additional customization and specific use-cases such as this one, it would be helpful to set these values inside the config.
