Bug 1857279 - Load @SettingsProvider settings early so that we can parse set aliases and load the correct virtualenv r=ahal

Aliased commands have not loaded the virtualenv associated with a
command/subcommand since bug 1695312. It has been defaulting to the
`common` virtualenv, which worked most of the time since most commands
use `common` and it also contains a large share of our dependencies.
