Description
It would be great if there were a command like tns plugin check that would scan my package.json for plugins, check npm for new versions, and report on any newer versions. Otherwise I'm routinely checking each plugin individually.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the CLI handles package.json plugin entries and how it queries npm for package versions. Define the behavior for the proposed tns plugin check command, including which plugins and newer versions it reports. Done means the command scans package.json and clearly reports available plugin updates.
