Fix bug where initial_estimation_checks was performed on prior mean instead of specified mode 

If the mode_file option was used, xparam1 was reloaded from the
mode-file after the initial checks, sometimes leading to very cryptic
errors. Now the initial checks already load the correct parameter
vector.
