Create plugin install command to pull from aurelia-registry about cli HOT 9 CLOSED

This should also install the plugins' CLI libs. I would assume that they would be placed in the lib file along side the others, but how can we add the commands without modifying the cli source so it can still be updated? Any thoughts @joelcoxokc @ahmedshuhel @zewa666 @EisenbergEffect ?

I think I have some ideas. I say we have them install the plugins locally. and we can just require them from their local dir. Let me play around with it.

@joelcoxokc I think you have a lot of issues already, I'm taking this one back for now since I've been working on it. In the future please let me know before you reassign.

I apologize. I think I did this by mistake.

I'm unassigning myself from this now as I don't have time to salvage the work I've done right now. In a nutshell, if you pick this one up, this is what I would suggest -

User input

$ aurelia -a i18next

1. Check the registry for a matching named entry named 'i18next'
2. Use the endpoint and location to construct the jspm install message (ex. jspm install github:zewa666/i18next)
3. Add aurelia section to package.json if it doesn't exist.
4. Add key/value entry for the plugin under the aurelia: { plugins: [] } section

For this to still work the way I planned it would mean that we need a helper function added to the main.js to dynamically add the plugins listed there. The alternative is to manually edit the main.js but that feels fragile.

I'll take it off your hands !

The feature is in and released already

@ahmedshuhel wow that's awesome! Is there some documentation we can read on how to install a plugin through the CLI?
