* used components that don't have a required_plugin block will make Packer 'implicitly' require those. These components are manually selected and commented for now.
* add tests
* docs
This change adds text around how plugin selection for plugins defined in
a require_plugins block work. It also adds a small call out to users
that third party plugins are not verified by HashiCorp.
* Packer has no state like Terraform has
* init command docs: tell where a plugin will be installed
* docs: add a note that packer init does not work with legacy JSON templates
* docs: add a not that packer init does not install single-plugin binaries
* the plugin getter => packer init
* Update init.mdx
* grammar
* link to how to install plugins manually
* Update website/content/docs/commands/init.mdx

This adds the new `required_plugins` block to be nested under the packer block.
Example:
```hcl
packer {
required_plugins {
aws = {
version = ">= 2.7.0"
source = "azr/aws"
}
azure = ">= 2.7.0"
}
}
```
For example on darwin_amd64 Packer will install those under :
* "${PACKER_HOME_DIR}/plugin/github.com/azr/amazon/packer-plugin-amazon_2.7.0_x5.0_darwin_amd64"
* "${PACKER_HOME_DIR}/plugin/github.com/hashicorp/azure/packer-plugin-azure_2.7.0_x5.0_darwin_amd64_x5"
+ docs
+ tests
