Spacy Projects: Directories are created before vars interpolation

[polkaYK]

This may not be a bug per se, but I was a bit surprised by the behavior.

I discovered that directories are created before variable interpolation in a spacy project, so you can't have something like

directories: [
  "cfg",
  "${vars.lang}_model",
]

I searched the code and found this place: https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/blob/8ffff18ac4e6a1d4fdae76dd7a9ecdf251b149fa/spacy/cli/_util.py#L161-L170 I swapped these two code blocks and it still worked, at least in my small project. But maybe there are concerns that prevent you from doing this. So, are you just not supposed to create directories with variable interpolation because of some reason or the order of these code blocks can be swapped?

Thanks for the report, I think we just didn't consider interpolation in the directory names. I don't think there's any particular reason these blocks couldn't be swapped.

I would like to take care of this issue

@AhmedIssa11 Sure, we'd be happy to review a PR for this!
