At startup, check that the expected genesis is loaded. This should prevent cases where accidentally a datadir from the wrong network is loaded (testnet vs mainnet, e.g.).

This should at least partially #2547, by giving a clearer and sooner error message.

Automatic sanity-testing: PASSED, see http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/5d274c9927f01c590f187bbbc670a92e441c53b7 for binaries and test log. This test script verifies pulls every time they are updated. It, however, dies sometimes and fails to test properly. If you are waiting on a test, please check timestamps to verify that the test.log is moving at http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/current/ Contact BlueMatt on freenode if something looks broken.
