cli/client: Fix commands execution by ensuring django is initialized

Antoine Lambert requested to merge anlambert/swh-deposit:cli-client-ensure-django-init into master

Previously, trying to execute the following commands:

  • swh deposit upload ...
  • swh deposit status ...
  • swh deposit list ...
  • swh deposit metadata-only ...

was returning the following error:

Could not load subcommand swh.deposit:
ImproperlyConfigured('Requested setting INSTALLED_APPS, but settings are not
configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.')

So ensure to init django at the beginning of each command to fix their usability.

Also prevent a similar side effect when swh.deposit.cli.client module is imported by moving the import of swh.deposit.utils.NAMESPACES from top level to the function it is used, this prevents the error message above to be displayed when using swh command shell autocompletion feature.
