feat(cli): add omz generate plugin to scaffold custom plugins

Adds a rails-style generator that creates a custom plugin in
$ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/<name> from commented templates: the plugin file,
a README in the usual shape and, for plugins that wrap a command-line
tool, a completion skeleton (or the cached-completion block when the
tool generates its own). Anything not passed as an option is asked
for interactively; non-interactive shells use defaults.

`omz generate` is a new top-level command so that other generators
(e.g. `omz generate theme`) can follow the same shape.

Templates live in templates/generators/plugin and are syntax-checked
by CI. lib/tests/generate-plugin.test.zsh covers the non-interactive
path, name validation and the prompt helper.

If you have many functions that go well together, you can put them as a `XYZ.plugin.zsh` file in the
`custom/plugins/` directory and then enable this plugin.
The quickest way to start one is `omz generate plugin <name>`. It creates the plugin directory with a
commented `<name>.plugin.zsh`, a `README.md`, and (for plugins that wrap a command-line tool) a completion
skeleton, then tells you how to try it out.
If you would like to override the functionality of a plugin distributed with Oh My Zsh, create a plugin of the
same name in the `custom/plugins/` directory and it will be loaded instead of the one in `plugins/`.
