Add WithInit() to support chaincodes that require init

[jimthematrix]

Even though the latest recommendation from the Fabric team is to step away from requiring init, a lot of customers still use this approach, and the official docs for Fabric chaincode lifecycle still describes the --init-required parameter, finally the fabric-samples that is used widely by tire-kickers still implements InitLedger().

Added a new SubmitInit() instead of modifying the existing signature to allow backward compatibility

@andrew-coleman Do you have any comments about the additional function in the Gateway package?

[bestbeforetoday]

There are already TransactionOption functional options to set endorsing peers and transient data when calling CreateTransaction(). I think this would be a better fit for creating a Transaction with the isInit flag set. Something like:

func WithInit() TransactionOption {
    return func(txn *Transaction) error {
        txn.isInit = true
        return nil
    }
}

Hi Jim, if we were to implement this in the new fabric-gateway Go API, we would almost certainly adopt the pattern as suggested by Mark in the previous comment. Would you be able to do that here?

@bestbeforetoday @andrew-coleman thanks for suggesting the options approach, I can switch to that in this PR.

Thanks Jim!
