In order to better document packer plugins installation methods, and since `packer plugins install' is not really manual, we split in two sections the "manual installation". As this is legacy, we stop documenting how to install single-component plugins, and reword the documentation for manually installing a plugin.

This section is redundant with the explanations given above, and can therefore be removed from the docs.
The current documentation about installing plugins does not explain (outside of the `packer init' section) how Packer discovers plugins, what the expected file system hierarchy should be, and the quirk of how this takes precedence over the rest when `required_plugins' is specified. This commit addresses that by reorganising the page to highlight general usage questions on sources and plugins, and simplifies the tabs below to only highlight installation methods.
