Add `list-plugins` command
Metadata
Current evaluation
Rockcraft still lacks a CLI command for discovering supported plugins; declarative per-base plugin groups have since been added, addressing the main design prerequisite.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The maintainer explicitly called the capability useful but required declarative per-base selection; commit c6e72072 has since added plugin groups per base. No Rockcraft list-plugins implementation or resolving commit was found, so the prerequisite work improves feasibility without fulfilling the request.
