David Pursehouse 4a64821338 Disentangle ListPlugins and PluginLsCommand 
ListPlugins has a lot of code that is only used for printing the
output to stdout, which is only used by PluginLsCommand.

Simplify ListPlugins to only return the map of plugins, and move the
logic for displaying the output into PluginLsCommand.

PluginLsCommand does not have access to the Plugin objects, but only
to what is returned in PluginInfo instances. Extend that to include
the filename, which was previously accessible to ListPlugins.

This change removes support for the format option from the list
plugins REST API endpoint.

= Gerrit Code Review - /plugins/ REST API
This page describes the plugin related REST endpoints.
Please also take note of the general information on the
link:rest-api.html[REST API].
[[plugin-endpoints]]
== Plugin Endpoints
Gerrit REST endpoints for installed plugins are available under
'/plugins/link:#plugin-id[\{plugin-id\}]/gerrit~<endpoint-id>'.
The `gerrit~` prefix ensures that the Gerrit REST endpoints for plugins
do not clash with any REST endpoint that a plugin may offer under its
namespace.
[[list-plugins]]
=== List Plugins
--
'GET /plugins/'
--
Lists the plugins installed on the Gerrit server. Only the enabled
plugins are returned unless the `all` option is specified.
To be allowed to see the installed plugins, a user must be a member of
a group that is granted the 'View Plugins' capability or the
'Administrate Server' capability.
As result a map is returned that maps the plugin IDs to
link:#plugin-info[PluginInfo] entries. The entries in the map are sorted
by plugin ID.
