The NetClient runs in the main thread, so any part of the loading screen
consuming several seconds makes that client timeout.
This is a workaround because threading the NetClient would have prevent
these timeouts, refs #3700.
Coutnerintuitively, since enet timeout tolerance is proportional to the
latency, the better the connection of the player, the more likely it was
to drop on gamestart.
This problem became very frequent in Alpha 23, at least due to the Aura
bugfix 583b6ec625, AIInterface being particularly slow and that not
having been disabled yet in the loading screen resulting in additional
10 second freezes during the loading screen, even on empty maps, refs
#5200, 8e168f85e6.

This was SVN commit r21842.
For good practice, mention all members in the affected member
initializer list:
Add booelan m_IsLocalClient and u32 m_HostID to the member initializer
list (to not have them undefined, even though they are not read from
until they are set).
Add the strings m_GUID and m_UserName for completeness (even though the
default constructor is already called for strings).
Use nullptr instead of NULL for pointers.
