Current evaluation

Feature request to add a `rockcraft list-plugins` CLI command (like snapcraft) so users can see supported plugins without relying on docs. Triaged by a maintainer who noted a full solution needs declarative per-base plugin selection; no command implemented yet.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: Maintainer @lengau (2024-09-06) acknowledged the request and explained a 'full' solution requires a declarative way to select plugins per base plus doc tests, making it a valid, triaged feature request blocked on a design decision. No `list-plugins` command exists in rockcraft/commands or the codebase, and the last activity (263 days ago) is within a year, so it should stay open rather than be closed as stale.

Issue body

### What needs to get done Add a `rockcraft list-plugins` command, [like in snapcraft](https://snapcraft.io/docs/snapcraft-plugins). ### Why it needs to get done Docs sometimes fall out of date (#513). It would be nice to know at the cli what plugins are supported right then and there.
