### Problem Description
Plugins are given the possibility to provide a `plugin:install` command. This command is run automatically when the **first time** a plugin is enabled for a tenant.
This behaviour leads to a couple on inconveniences
- Users have to option to re-run these initialisation commands, for example when new changes or fixes have been added
- The check for "first time" is very obscure, i.e. `if (!$this->pluginsService->getByMpmPluginId($mpmPluginId) instanceof Plugins)`
- Painful developer experience as this leads to the need to reset the development demo data quite frequently.
### Proposed Solution
Please change the behaviour to
- Run `package:install` every time a plugin is enabled for a tenant
For this to work (apart from the obvious changes to the Plugin Service logic) a few steps have to be taken.
- Review each each Plugin's `install` command to make them **idempotent**, i.e. it should be save to run the `install` multiple times.
- Ensure Manufacturer registration is also **idempotent**
For example, an `install` command that creates default credentials using `->create()` should be changed to `->firstOrCreate()`
