Summary: Plugin metadata format extended to include type of each plugin (client / device) and list of supported devices (android/ios/..., emulator/physical, etc). This will allow to detect plugins supported by device even if they are not installed and only available on Marketplace.

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:
- (TODO) Standard API's to interact with Flipper, such as the client connection.
- (TODO) Standard components to organize the UI
- (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
