 `env:start`: the command runs even when you don't require the Composer
 packages.

 only seems to add 5-10 seconds to the corresponding step (assuming network
 speeds are identical pulling containers, which is unlikely). It seems like
 this could be an OK trade off, though.

 As it's a dev environment, I think it's fine to run them on `env:start`.
 That will ensure that `phpcs` is available for developers.

 I know having xDebug enabled can slow the php tests down a lot, much more
 than a few seconds, so it may be worth looking at that too.
