When running test_bitcoin under Valgrind I found the following issue:

The read of the uninitialized variable nLocalServices is triggered by g_connman->GetLocalServices() in getnetworkinfo(const JSONRPCRequest& request) (net.cpp:462):
UniValue getnetworkinfo(const JSONRPCRequest& request)
{
...
if(g_connman)
obj.push_back(Pair("localservices", strprintf("%016x", g_connman->GetLocalServices())));
...
}
The reason for the uninitialized nLocalServices is that CConnman::Start(...) is not called
by the tests, and hence the initialization normally performed by CConnman::Start(...) is
not done.
This commit adds a method Init(const Options& connOptions) which is called by both the
constructor and CConnman::Start(...). This method initializes nLocalServices and the other
relevant values from the supplied Options object.
