Initialize plugins after handling initial command line flags
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can actually define new subcommands.

+# Release 2.4 (202X-XX-XX)
+
+ - It is now an error to modify the `plugin-files` setting via a
+ command-line flag that appears after the first non-flag argument
+ to any command, including a subcommand to `nix`. For example,
+ `nix-instantiate default.nix --plugin-files ""` must now become
+ `nix-instantiate --plugin-files "" default.nix`.
