Description

After feedback from multiple parties, it's not clear that the "name" in steps, targets managers, etc has to match with a plugin name from codebase.
Should switch all "name" references to "plugin", like:
- `"TargetManagerName": "targetlist"` -> `"TargetManagerPlugin": "targetlist"`
- step `{"name": "exec"}` -> step `{"plugin": "exec"}`

Update the relevant references consistently so plugin identifies the codebase plugin, and verify that the old terminology is no longer used in those interfaces.
