Description
Following on #1534 This issue is to track a change request to add lifecycle management of docker cli plugins. Would like operations from the cli UX to accomplish:
- installing plugins
- listing installed plugins
- updating installed plugins
- removing installed plugins
Some specific use cases:
- developers to easily install plugins in development flux
- early adopters try out a plugin that is not fully-supported yet (experimental plugins)
- lock-down plugins so only the GA plugins are available to the user
