Michel Weststrate d7da816e36 Fixed issue where plugins weren't reset properly when reconnecting a device
Summary: If a device disconnects and reconnects while keeping the plugin open, a new pluginInstance is available, but the React component would not be remounted since both the old and new pluginInstance have the same identifier (device/client/plugin). This change makes sure that if a different pluginInstance arrives, the rendering will be reinitialised as well.

flipper-plugin

flipper-plugin is the dependency used by all modern Flipper plugins (project "Tommy").

For background: https://fb.quip.com/YHOGAnaPqAVJ

flipper-plugin is to be used as dev and peer dependency of all Flipper plugins. It provides:

  1. (TODO) Standard API's to interact with Flipper, such as the client connection.
  2. (TODO) Standard components to organize the UI
  3. (TODO) Testing utilities

API's provided by flipper-plugin are documented at fbflipper.com (TODO).

There should normally be no need to install flipper-plugin as dependency. Rather, plugins should be scaffolded using npx flipper-pkg init (TODO) as documented here
