This does not load the plugin commands into the scope - see `plugin use` for
that.

Instead, it runs the plugin to get its command signatures, and then edits the
plugin registry file (by default, `$nu.plugin-path`). The changes will be
apparent the next time `nu` is next launched with that plugin registry file.
