Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22577: Close minor startup race between main and scheduler threads

703b1e612a Close minor startup race between main and scheduler threads (Larry Ruane)

Pull request description:

  This is a low-priority bug fix. The scheduler thread runs `CheckForStaleTipAndEvictPeers()` every 45 seconds (EXTRA_PEER_CHECK_INTERVAL). If its first run happens before the active chain is set up (`CChain::SetTip()`), `bitcoind` will assert:
  ```
  (...)

  bitcoind: validation.cpp:4968: CChainState& ChainstateManager::ActiveChainstate() const: Assertion `m_active_chainstate' failed.
  Aborted (core dumped)
  ```
  I ran into this while using the debugger to investigate an unrelated problem. Single-stepping through threads with a debugger can cause the relative thread execution timing to be very different than usual. I don't think any automated tests are needed for this PR. I'll give reproduction steps in the next PR comment.

    code review ACK 703b1e612a - it makes sense to me to start peerman's background tasks here, after `chainstate->LoadChainTip()` and `node.connman->Start()` have been called.
