Only run Alpine.start once

Hi there! Please have a look at this codepen: https://codepen.io/hirasso/pen/zYWxVdR

In complex systems with plugins from different parties (like, for example, CMS admin areas), it's quite possible that a few of these plugins could be wanting to make use of a library like alpinejs. This would lead to certain conflicts, one of them being, that Alpine.start() is being executed as often as it has been loaded.

What do you think about a guard clause inside Alpine.start() that would return early if Alpine had already been started?

I could imagine some logic like this: https://codepen.io/hirasso/pen/QWmwewM

In my opinion, if the plugins are third party's, they should use their own prefix. If they are first party's they won't need to import Alpine as you have full control on the build.
