feat: migrate lifecycle/support metadata to overlay repo for all supported plugins in downstream-plugins file RHIDP-7526

[polasudo]

This pull request updates the documentation for supported and preinstalled dynamic plugins, making the lists more accurate and consistent. The main changes involve reordering, adding, and removing plugins from the lists, as well as updating plugin details and environment variables.

This should be released in version 1.8

changes:

Header (schema) difference

• Old (main):

  • "Name","Plugin","Role","Version","Support Level","Path","Required Variables","Default"

• New (current):

  • "Name","Plugin","Role","Version","Support Level","Lifecycle","Path","Required Variables","Default"
  • Added column: Lifecycle (typically active, from spec.lifecycle)

  High-level changes

• Data source switched: JSON wrappers ➜ YAML marketplace packages

• One new column added: Lifecycle

• Filtering:

  • Include only dynamic plugins (Path contains -dynamic)
  • Exclude oci:// entries - not sure if they should be there but during working on this task they were found there but i was not sure if they should be there also
  • Exclude @redhat packages at package scope - same as above

• Required variables extracted from YAML spec.appConfigExamples[].content

• Default state derived from dynamic-plugins.default.yaml

Plugin set differences

• Removed (present in main, not in current):
  • @red-hat-developer-hub/backstage-plugin-quickstart
• Added: none

Why removed: dynamic-only filtering quickstart does not have a dynamic wrapper, so it is excluded.

@nickboldt what u suggest should i return it or not ?

Include only dynamic plugins (Path contains -dynamic)

this might be an error; only BACKEND plugins have the -dynamic folder suffix; front end ones do not. For example

• https://github.com/redhat-developer/rhdh/blob/main/dynamic-plugins/wrappers/backstage-community-plugin-azure-devops/package.json
• https://github.com/redhat-developer/rhdh/tree/main/dynamic-plugins/wrappers/backstage-community-plugin-azure-devops-backend-dynamic
  vs.
• https://github.com/redhat-developer/rhdh/blob/main/catalog-entities/marketplace/plugins/azure-devops.yaml (includes both backstage-community-plugin-azure-devops and backstage-community-plugin-azure-devops-backend)

Why removed: dynamic-only filtering quickstart does not have a dynamic wrapper, so it is excluded.

But it exists here:

• https://github.com/redhat-developer/rhdh/blob/main/dynamic-plugins/wrappers/red-hat-developer-hub-backstage-plugin-quickstart/package.json
  and here
• https://github.com/redhat-developer/rhdh/blob/main/dynamic-plugins.default.yaml#L627-L629

So I think the issue is there's no catalog entity for it? If so we need to add one.
