Description

Currently in Reactotron, all of the features are available in the UI, such as image overlay, even if the client app does not have the necessary plugins set up.

Reactotron app should either grey out these features, suggest how to enable them, or conditionally hide them all together if the client app config isn't set up.

Example: the image overlay

Additionally, we should show the list of plugins for each connection in the Connections screen:

Research direction

Start by tracing how client app configuration and plugin information reach the Reactotron app UI, then inspect the image overlay feature and the Connections screen. Determine how plugin availability should affect feature visibility or guidance, and how each connection's plugin list should be displayed; done means both requested UI areas reflect the connected client's configured plugins.
