Michel Weststrate e7f841b6d2 Move flipper plugin from flipper-lib types to flipper-common
Summary: Moved all types related to plugin descriptions from plugin-lib (which handles downloads and such) to flipper-common. The goal of that is to remove all plugin-lib usage from ui-core to server-core, so that the UI itself doesn't do any file operations anymore related to plugins. That will be done in next diffs, this just moves types but no code.

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
