Plugins - dependencies and build

[cjsewell]

Feature Request

Currently the docker build only copies and installs the root level package.json and dependencies.

This means if you have built custom plugins under /src/plugins, their dependencies are not installed, and the packages are not build

The build script should search and copy any /src/plugins/*/package.json and install their dependencies.

It should also run any "build" scripts found in plugins package.json

I do like this though how do you solve a scenario where a user has no plugins runs the tool and later adds the plugins.

I haven't tested it out yet, but I imagine utilizing something like https://stackoverflow.com/a/63142468 to capture all the package.json files.

Assuming workspaces are used, that should work for the dependencies.

As for the build step, I'm not too sure how to pull that off without code. Maybe submitting a new feature to build.js thay would handle it?

I shall do some experiments....
