List plugins hosted in internal artifactory by using the nx list.

[ByteOPCode]

• [x] I'd be willing to implement this feature (contributing guide)

Description

Since private artifactory hosts a few of the internal plugins that organizations typically use for NX, it would be beneficial to have NX cli list those plugins if the project has a configuration file pointing to a JSON URL that would list internal plugins.

Motivation

• In addition to core and community approved plugins, "nx list" would support plugins hosted internally and by third parties (based on config file in project).
• This will help multiple teams across organization to reuse or enhance internally existing plugins instead of re-creating plugins for internal use (Increases re-usability of plugins within private artifactories).

Suggested Implementation

Create a file named "nx-plugin.conf" at the root of the workspace project directory. To add functionality to parse the configuration file, perform a HTTP GET on the JSON URL specified in the configuration file, and STDOUT the JSON response. If file or URL is invalid, the script would not stdout third party / internal plugins to console.

Rough Implementation is done in this commit .

Alternate Implementations

While creating a project, adding a inquirer option to ask if the project has an additional upstream source for nx plugins, that they can use as a pointer for internal artifactory and write the URL to workspace.json / nx.json and nx list would parse json file to get plugin list from the URL.

Hi @AgentEnder, this is my first PR with nx - I am not able to add reviewer to above PR. Would highly appreciate if someone can review it.

Thanks.
