feat: Delay network controller provider initialization

[pedronfigueiredo]

Description

We want to have finer control over the initialization of the network controller inside the metamask controller. For additional background and reasoning, see the tickets linked below.

This PR also depends on 2 PRs (#274 on the smart transactions controller repo and #4004 on the core repo) being merged and the corresponding packages released first. Once that is done, I will update the dependencies on this PR.

Related issues

Fixes: #2114 on the planning repo (For more details see also #881)

See: PR #274 on the smart transactions controller repo and PR #4004 on the core repo.
