start the endhost containers ('hnode') only after the routers ('rnode') and cs_services ('csnode') and any other infrastructure it depends on are up.
This puts an end to many annoying wait-conditions in container start-scripts especially for scion-endhosts to avoid nasty 'no path to ISD-AS ' errors when they are started before i.e. the border routers.
In order to achieve this the containers X,Y,Z that provide the infrastructure of an Autonomous System hosting a given node N are listed under N's 'depends_on:' section in the docker-compose file.
Currently the type of dependency is 'service-started' but it could be improved to 'service-healthy' if we come up with suitable HEALTHCHECKS for all the different components.
