Set the number of contexts to add to the network.

By default the network do not have any context so it is a simple Feed Forward network,

the second parameter (initValues) can be used to create custom initialized contexts.

If 'initValues' is set, the first parameter 'nContexts' is ignored and
the contexts provided in 'initValues' are used.

When using 'initValues' note that contexts must have the same size of hidden nodes + 1 (bias node).
