This change adds a simple hostname validation check to validate that a
plugins source address is github.com before continuing with the Get
call. An issue was encountered when using a hostname different from
github.com, where the getter would continue to pull a plugin from GitHub
even if the hostname was something like "example.com". See log details
below.

```
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.

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
* move maps of plugins back in core
* go mod vendor
* more fixes
* fix imports
* Update core_test.go
* fix build
* more fixes
* more fixes
* up vendors after fixing sdk
* Update post_processor_mock.hcl2spec.go
* Leave implementatino of MapOf in the sdk for plugi tests
Other wise use the interface
* go mod tidy
* add MapOfDatasource type too
This add :
* discovery of `packer-plugin-*` binaries from the known folders and ask them to describe themselves
* tests
For testing: in go we create a bash script that in turn calls back to Go. I could not make the tests to work on windows and then would like to postpone testing this for when we know more about the finite layout of this feature. That is mainly: how things are going to work with init, versioning and such.
