Suggestion: Since there is an #official list of plugins available, why not make an `Install` plugin button which retrieves from the list of official plugins and then automatically updates the app.yml file and triggers a rebuild (like what /admin/upgrade does).

This would achieve 2 things:

1. Simplify the plugin installation (and since it’s from the official list it’s easy to maintain)
2. Build in login to avoid conflicts, if a plugin moves from plugin status to core or something else, essentially official plugins can be handled gracefully and “managed” to avoid upgrade, change of state, deprecation etc situations
