### Resource name
AWS::KafkaConnect::Plugin
### Description
CloudFormation has support to create a [Kafka Connector](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-kafkaconnect-connector.html), however one of the required parameters is a plugin. A plugin is [defined](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/msk/latest/developerguide/msk-connect-plugins.html) by the API from an S3 object, but CloudFormation has no support for creating an MSK Kafka Connector plugin.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the AWS::KafkaConnect::Plugin resource description and the linked MSK Connect plugin documentation. Compare the requested resource with existing CloudFormation support for KafkaConnect::Connector; done means CloudFormation can create and manage an MSK connector plugin from its S3 object definition.
