This PR moves the Nextflow version check (
manifest.nextflowVersion) so that it happens as early as possible -- immediately after the config is loadedThis will improve the error message for errors that are downstream of a version mismatch. For example, in the linked issue, a pipeline requiring >=25.10 was run with 25.04, and because it was also loading a plugin that requires >=25.10, the resulting error was about the plugin not existing rather than the Nextflow version being incorrect
