gui: Delay interfaces::Node initialization

This is needed to allow bitcoin-gui to connect to existing node process with
-ipcconnect instead of spawning a new process. It's possible to spawn a new
bitcoin-node process without knowing the current data dir or network, but
connecting to an existing bitcoin-node requires knowing the datadir and network
first.
