static ctor of Network must run before creating other networks #32

Description

One cannot run NetworkBuilder.BuildAndRegister() to create a Network before triggering the static ctor of Network one time before so that it already creates BitcoinMain. Otherwise, this line will crash:
assert(consensus.HashGenesisBlock == uint256.Parse("0x000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f"));

This can be worked around like shown below, but it's very confusing :-)

 
public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
	        var fix= Network.Main; // execute static constructor of Network before everything else, or crash

	        var network = !args.Contains("-testnet") 
				? MyNetworks.RegisterMain() 
				: MyNetworks.RegisterTest();

	        if (NodeSettings.PrintHelp(args, network))
		        return;
