Cannot start in ultra light mode?

[Cafe137]

Context

2.3.1

Summary

Some steps were moved out of the SwapEnable condition in this commit: 1f0c3f6#diff-515b2d0691202c4ea5e578ec896258ae9c440c381b608ed1eb7116a27847057dL492

It seems InitChequebookFactory, or chequebookFactory.ERC20Address are called for ultra light mode now, shutting down the Bee node during startup sequence:

Expected behavior

Can start with a disabled chain backend

Actual behavior

Please see summary

Steps to reproduce

This is my configuration

verbosity: 5
swap-enable: false
mainnet: true
full-node: false
cors-allowed-origins: '*'
use-postage-snapshot: false

I can start in ultra light mode with this, but there might have been a reason these steps were moved out of the check in the first place.
