Anton Nikolaev 899fcd0783 Device plugin management (1/n): use static metadata for checking plugin compatibility with devices
Summary:
*Stack summary*: this stack adds ability to manage device plugins in the same way as client plugins: install, update, uninstall, enable (star) and disable (unstar) them.

*Diff summary*: changed the way how plugin compatibility with devices is checked from dynamic call to "supportsDevice" to static checks of "supportedDevices" metadata property which make it possible to check compatibility without even downloading plugin from Marketplace.

Changelog: plugin compatibility with devices is now checked according to metadata in property "supportedDevices" in package.json

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
