Description
### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Support repos containing stuff beyond just plugins
### Proposed solution
Searching through github.com - there is nontrivial amount of repos publishing plugins alongside of the non-plugin code/infra/etc: https://github.com/search?q=path%3A**%2Fmarketplace.json+plugins&type=code
Not to force publisher to separate those into separate repo nor to force user to checkout unrelated stuff to their machines - we can use the `pluginRoot` metadata to indicate and fetch only relevant plugins.
### Example prompts or workflows
[dotnet/skills ](https://github.com/dotnet/skills) repo has plugins in .\plugins folder. Everything else is not intended for plugins consumers, but for the plugin authors and maintainers
Observing the `pluginRoot` would help keeping all the maintainer relevant stuff in same repo, while not pushing it to customers machines
