Current evaluation

Docs request to clarify that rockcraft's plugin reference covers craft-parts (upstream) plugins, not snapcraft-specific ones. Maintainer confirmed the plugin reference already reuses craft-parts rst files and the remaining work is upstream plugin docs in craft-parts.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: Maintainer @lengau triaged and acknowledged the issue, clarifying the plugins are upstream craft-parts ones and that @tigarmo is working on it with the bulk of the work being upstream plugin documentation (referencing craft-parts#694). The plugin reference already includes craft-parts rst files, but the issue remains open pending the upstream doc work, so it should stay open.

Issue body

### Request type Fix ### What needs to get done It seems to be possible to use snapcraft plugins in rockcraft. However, this page does not say that: https://canonical-rockcraft.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/reference/plugins/ It would be nice to have a link to the snapcraft plugins and a brief explanation of why it works. ### Documentation location https://canonical-rockcraft.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/reference/plugins/ ### Additional information _No response_
