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.
* show error as to why plugin discovery failed
* allow to run more manual tests after a plugin installation
* test that a freshly installed external plugin can run
The oci api returns 429, among others in case a per-user rate limit is
hit. Currently our only mechanism to deal with this is to wait 5s
between the requests that poll for image availability (and export).
With a custom retry strategy we can handle more error situations while
putting less load on the api.
* document builder id of artifact for each builder's output on website
* document postprocessor artifact ids on website
* Fix links to new communicator page

This changes wraps the plugin client start call with an anonymous function so that Packer starts a
new plugin for each occurrence of a particular plugin block.
Before only one subprocess was being created causing subsquent calls to fail as it was trying start
an already started plugin subprocess.
