Aaron Powell 7a003fc75a Deprecate Collections in favour of Plugins

Replace Collections with Plugins as first-class citizens in the repo.
With the Copilot CLI v0.409 release making plugins an on-by-default
marketplace, collections are redundant overhead.

## What changed

### Plugin Infrastructure
- Created eng/validate-plugins.mjs (replaces validate-collections.mjs)
- Created eng/create-plugin.mjs (replaces create-collection.mjs)
- Enhanced all 42 plugin.json files with tags, featured, display, and
  items metadata from their corresponding collection.yml files

### Build & Website
- Updated eng/update-readme.mjs to generate plugin docs
- Updated eng/generate-website-data.mjs to emit plugins.json with full
  items array for modal rendering
- Renamed website collections page to plugins (/plugins/)
- Fixed plugin modal to use <div> instead of <pre> for proper styling
- Updated README.md featured section from Collections to Plugins

### Documentation & CI
- Updated CONTRIBUTING.md, AGENTS.md, copilot-instructions.md, PR template
- Updated CI workflows to validate plugins instead of collections
- Replaced docs/README.collections.md with docs/README.plugins.md

### Cleanup
- Removed eng/validate-collections.mjs, eng/create-collection.mjs,
  eng/collection-to-plugin.mjs
- Removed entire collections/ directory (41 .collection.yml + .md files)
- Removed parseCollectionYaml from yaml-parser.mjs
- Removed COLLECTIONS_DIR from constants.mjs

Closes #711

Contributor Reporting (Maintainers) 🚧

This directory contains a lightweight helper to generate human-readable reports about missing contributors.

contributor-report.mjs — generates a markdown report of merged PRs for missing contributors (includes shared helpers).
add-missing-contributors.mjs — on-demand maintainer script to automatically add missing contributors to .all-contributorsrc (infers contribution types from merged PR files, then runs the all-contributors CLI).

Key notes for maintainers

Reports are generated on-demand and output to reports/contributor-report.md for human review.
The report output is intentionally minimal: a single list of affected PRs and one command to add missing contributor(s).
This repository requires full git history for accurate analysis. In CI, set fetch-depth: 0.

On-demand scripts (not CI)

These are maintainer utilities. They are intentionally on-demand only (but could be wired into CI later).

`add-missing-contributors.mjs`

Purpose: detect missing contributors, infer contribution types from their merged PR files, and run npx all-contributors add ... to update .all-contributorsrc.
Requirements:
- GitHub CLI (gh) available (used to query merged PRs).
- .all-contributorsrc exists.
- Auth token set to avoid the anonymous GitHub rate limits:
  - Set GITHUB_TOKEN (preferred), or GH_TOKEN for the gh CLI.
  - If you use PRIVATE_TOKEN locally, contributor-report.mjs will map it to GITHUB_TOKEN.

Graceful shutdown

contributor-report.mjs calls setupGracefulShutdown('script-name') from eng/utils/graceful-shutdown.mjs early in the file to attach signal/exception handlers.

Testing & maintenance

Helper functions have small, deterministic behavior and include JSDoc comments.
The getMissingContributors function in contributor-report.mjs is the single source of truth for detecting missing contributors from all-contributors check output.
