Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:**
I have encountered multiple installation failures due to an outdated plugin, with no information as to why.
**Describe the solution you'd like:**
I'd like for a plugin update check to be performed when running `asdf` commands which utilize the plugin, and to be notified if there is an update available for the plugin. For example: `asdf list all [plugin]`, `asdf install [plugin] [version]`, etc.
This could be implemented with a TTL cache so that there aren't repeated network requests performed within a given window of time.
If it is decided that this feature request is ultimately the responsibility of each plugin, then this is a request to provide a framework for plugin authors to easily implement the feature.
**Describe similar asdf features and why they are not sufficient:**
There are no similar features to compare.
**Describe workarounds you've considered:**
Manually check if there is a plugin update and install it.
