Description

This is an umbrella issue for all the development related to Biome's upcoming plugin support.

We have an RFC that guides the technical direction: https://github.com/biomejs/biome/discussions/1762
This was a follow-up to an earlier RFC where we asked our community for feedback on the kind of plugins they wanted most: https://github.com/biomejs/biome/discussions/1649

Initially, we will focus towards implementing linter plugins. If these prove successful, we can expand the scope to include other types of plugins as well.
