Instead of starting with environment variable parsing, start with the actual package manifest, which is most likely the most interesting to most users.

As suggested in #680 (comment).

I don't think this is possible to do with simple variables. See: swiftlang/swift#66045
Unless that bug is something even more complicated.

You can, however, use extensions to another type at the end of the file. Then use those declarations that are in the extensions higher up in the package constant.

That’s why all the variables are computed instead of stored, to work around the limitations of https://forums.swift.org/t/on-the-behavior-of-variables-in-top-level-code/52230.
