Feature Request / Potential PR: Allow plugins (that don't include nodes) to be managed by the palette manager

[ralphwetzel]

Continuing the discussion from Some nodes not showing in 'Manage palette':

@knolleary

If node-red-mcu is a plugin that doesn't include any nodes, it won't show up. This is a known limitation and sat somewhere on a backlog to be looked at.

I stumbled - once again - over the fact that a plugin without nodes isn't shown in the Palette Manager; thus, despite the plugin can be installed, it can neither be updated nor removed via this mean.

Would you accept a PR that adds this functionality?

@Steve-Mcl
Will do; should the PR raised against dev or the main branch?

Update: Issue report is now established.

New features against dev please.
