[Feature]: Allow CLI to scan workspace packages for Capacitor plugins

[laine-hallot]

Description

Enable development of app + plugin monorepos by allowing commands like cap sync find plugins inside workspace packages

Platforms

• iOS
• Android
• Web

Request or proposed solution

Right now the capacitor CLI can only detect plugins inside node_modules/ which makes developing a plugin and an app side by side cumbersome, especially if the two packages are in a monorepo together. It would be nice if the cli could use to root package.json to detect if any workspace packages are Capacitor plugins and include their relevant files when running commands like cap sync

I'll have to ask around, but I think this could be handy.

@markemer Is this still something the maintainers are looking into?

Yeah, it just wasn't a priority, but let me look at your PR, I think I missed you had one.
