Description
We should support more ways to install plugins:
- Upload ZIP
- Specify git repo (only if Git binary supported on the system)
- Specify composer package name
- (only on plugin:install command) Specify local folder
These methods should exist in the plugin:install command with a --from= option and in the backend plugin manager.

Research direction
Start with the existing plugin:install command and the backend plugin manager, then trace how plugin installation currently handles its source. Check the stated ZIP, Git, Composer package, and local-folder cases, including the --from option and Git-binary condition. Done means all requested sources are supported in the applicable entry points.
