Description

This need came up in https://github.com/itowlson/spin-pluginify/pull/6 and npx/dpx can be used as a reference:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/npx
https://deno.land/x/dpx

This can also be be a separate plugin, but at least basic sandboxing / temporary plugin installation and running should be supported by spin for it to be reliable.

Research direction

Review the linked spin-pluginify pull request and the npx and dpx references first. Define the scope for a spin plugin run command, including temporary plugin installation and basic sandboxing; done means a plugin can be installed and run reliably without permanent installation.
