MyApp->setup goes to Catalyst::setup first, because at this stage
MyApp isa Catalyst, but not any of the plugins.

This loads all the plugins and components and what not, and then
temporarily empties Catalyst::setup, and re-invokes MyApp->setup.

This then goes into all the plugins' setup snippets, which call
MyApp->NEXT::setup until the last one is reached, and it goes into
the 'sub { }'.

Basically it emulates the behavior that should happen if
MyApp->setup was called and all the plugins are alreay loaded and
in @MyApp::ISA
