perf(core/a11y): start loading axe earlier

[sidvishnoi]

This will start fetching the axe script earlier, giving some performance improvements.
Also, should help in avoiding jasmine timeouts that we often get in CI [^1].

Hmm... not a fan of attaching more stuff to config. Why not have this as an internal state inside the plugin itself?

[sidvishnoi]

Plugins can share state among them.
I plan to add a state arg to all functions, but conf.state was easier for starters.

I'd suggest doing that now... look at what happened with my terrible linter API :( I kept saying, "I'll fix it next week... I'll fix it next week..." and years later, still there 😢
