Fix some LoadChainTip-related init-order bugs.
* Move the writing of fTxIndex to LoadBlockIndex - this fixes a bug introduced in d6af06d68aae985436cbc942f0d11078041d121b where InitBlockIndex was writing to fTxIndex which had not yet been checked (because LoadChainTip hadn't yet initialized the chainActive, which would otherwise have resulted in InitBlockIndex being a NOP), allowing you to modify -txindex without reindex, potentially corrupting your chainstate! * Rename InitBlockIndex to LoadGenesisBlock, which is now a more natural name for it. Also check mapBlockIndex instead of chainActive, fixing a bug where we'd write the genesis block out on every start.
