Add a temporary internal remote_plugin feature flag that merges remote
marketplaces into plugin/list and routes plugin/read through the remote
APIs when needed, while keeping pure local marketplaces working as
before.

## Summary
Fixes#16637. (I hit this bug after 11h of work on a long-running task.)
Plugin cache initialization could panic when an already-absolute cache
path was normalized through `AbsolutePathBuf::from_absolute_path`,
because that path still consulted `current_dir()`.
This changes absolute-path normalization so already-absolute paths do
not depend on cwd, and makes plugin cache root construction available as
a fallible path through `PluginStore::try_new()`. Plugin cache subpaths
now use `AbsolutePathBuf::join()` instead of re-absolutizing derived
absolute paths.
## Summary
- add first-class marketplace support for git-backed plugin sources
- keep the newer marketplace parsing behavior from `main`, including
alternate manifest locations and string local sources
- materialize remote plugin sources during install, detail reads, and
non-curated cache refresh
- expose git plugin source metadata through the app-server protocol
## Details
This teaches the marketplace parser to accept all of the following:
- local string sources such as `"source": "./plugins/foo"`
- local object sources such as
`{"source":"local","path":"./plugins/foo"}`
- remote repo-root sources such as
`{"source":"url","url":"https://github.com/org/repo.git"}`
- remote subdir sources such as
`{"source":"git-subdir","url":"owner/repo","path":"plugins/foo","ref":"main","sha":"..."}`
It also preserves the newer tolerant behavior from `main`: invalid or
unsupported plugin entries are skipped instead of breaking the whole
marketplace.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-core plugins::marketplace::tests`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`
## Notes
- A full `cargo test -p codex-core` run still hit unrelated existing
failures in agent and multi-agent tests during this session; the
marketplace-focused suite passed after the rebase resolution.
Load plugin manifests through a shared discoverable-path helper so
manifest reads, installs, and skill names all see the same alternate
manifest location.
## Summary
- Add best-effort auto-upgrade for user-configured Git marketplaces
recorded in `config.toml`.
- Track the last activated Git revision with `last_revision` so
unchanged marketplace sources skip clone work.
- Trigger the upgrade from plugin startup and `plugin/list`, while
preserving existing fail-open plugin behavior with warning logs rather
than new user-visible errors.
## Details
- Remote configured marketplaces use `git ls-remote` to compare the
source/ref against the recorded revision.
- Upgrades clone into a staging directory, validate that
`.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` exists and that the manifest name
matches the configured marketplace key, then atomically activate the new
root.
- Local `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` marketplaces remain live
filesystem state and are not auto-pulled.
- Existing non-curated plugin cache refresh is kicked after successful
marketplace root upgrades.
## Validation
- `just write-config-schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-core marketplace_upgrade`
- `cargo check -p codex-cli -p codex-app-server`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
Did not run the complete `cargo test` suite because the repo
instructions require asking before a full core workspace run.
Split plugin loading, marketplace, and related infrastructure out of
core into codex-core-plugins, while keeping the core-facing
configuration and orchestration flow in codex-core.
