Allow network activity to be temporarily suspended.

Added the function SetNetworkActive() which when called with argument set to false disconnects all nodes and sets the flag fNetworkActive to false. As long as this flag is false no new connections are attempted and no incoming connections are accepted. Network activity is reenabled by calling the function with argument true.
