This function initializes the networks used in
netsim. The initial edge set for a given network
is obtained either from simulating the cross-sectional model
(if edapprox == TRUE) or from the newnetwork
element of the netest object (if
edapprox == FALSE). Once the initial edge sets are
determined, the first time step is simulated if
resimulate.network == TRUE, and all time steps are
simulated if resimulate.network == FALSE. Initializes the
num(.g2) epi fields used in
edges_correct for computing edge coefficient
adjustments.
