This PR improves performance of any command that install an environment by lazily evaluating the activation variables. We only need the activation variables when we will be building an sdist, which is very often not the case.
Previously, we were always activating the environment when we needed to get an up-to-date environment.
Testing this locally on my machine, pixi feels much more snappy.
