Bug 1515901 - Avoid loading mozconfig multiple times from MozbuildObject. r=froydnj

When running `mach help`, mozconfig is loaded multiple times, and even
with an almost empty mozconfig, this makes mach help take close to 10
seconds on my Windows machine.

With some memoization, the time to run mach help gets down to 2s.
