-testnet flag crashes komodod

[gcharang]

Describe the issue

Please provide a general summary of the issue you're experiencing

starting komodod with the -testnet parameter causes it to crash with the line:

komodod: main.cpp:2704: void InvalidChainFound(CBlockIndex*): Assertion `tip' failed.

I think the -testnet flag was initially designed for just launching and testing smartchains without needing 2 nodes/daemons

It might also be causing this following line to be printed when the parameter is used with a plain komodod:

./komodod -testnet                                                                                                                                                                                  
couldnt open.(/home/gcharang/.komodo/.komodo/komodo.conf) will not validate dest notarizations 

Notice: .komodo/.komodo/komodo.conf , it is wierd and looks like a smart chain's conf location had its name replaced by "komodo"

Using

./komodod -ac_name=TEST -ac_supply=100000000 -testnet

Shows the usual output that creates a conf file at the appropriate location and the line with netmagic but still ends with the Assertion tip' failed.` error

Can you reliably reproduce the issue?

If so, please list the steps to reproduce below:

1. build komodod from master
2. add -testnet to any set of launch parameters that include komodod
3. watch the daemon's output

Expected behaviour

Gracefully shutdown if no valid -ac_ params are given
Launch a new Smart Chain if the -ac_ params are valid

Actual behaviour + errors
