Create a Plugins explanation page
Metadata
Current evaluation
Request for a dedicated plugins explanation page in Rockcraft docs; the reference page exists but no high-level introduction does. Maintainers agreed on direction in 2024-07, but no such page has been added since and the gap persists.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Maintainers engaged and scoped the ask: tigarmo asked for elaboration and cjdcordeiro proposed a high-level introduction modeled on snapcraft.io/docs/snapcraft-plugins. I verified docs/explanation/index.rst still lists no plugins explanation page and no commit has added one, so the gap is real and the issue is still applicable — inactivity alone (263 days) does not justify closing.

Issue body
### Request type
Enhancement
### What needs to get done
We do have a [Plugins reference page](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/rockcraft/en/latest/reference/plugins/), but no _explanation page_ exists for Plugins.
It would be great to have a dedicated _explanation page_ for Plugins.
### Documentation location
_No response_
### Additional information
* This is a request for a new explanation page about Plugins
* It would also be great to have this new page linked from different parts of the documentation
