Description

### Feature request

PoC to research `kn` + inlined supported plugins to be built into single `kn-all-*` binary. (name is a subject to change)

Aiming for nightlies at first to look for any drawbacks and evaluate the viability of such bundled binary overall.

### Use case

The bundled release should help users that are eventually keen on using or trying out all of the supported plugin and deliver the bits in a single download/install step.
