docs(plugins): sync plugins README with the implementation (#5912)
* docs(plugins): document the Matcher host service

The Matcher host service (matcher_matchsongs, permission 'matcher') was
missing from the README entirely. Add its section with permission example,
the matcher-requires-library rule, result ordering/scoping semantics, and
a Go usage example.

* docs(plugins): add missing nd_scrobbler_playback_report to Scrobbler

The Scrobbler capability has four required methods, but the README said
three and omitted nd_scrobbler_playback_report from the function table.
Add the table row and document the PlaybackReport input payload and its
possible playback states.

* docs(plugins): remove stale coverartarchive-as example row

The AssemblyScript coverartarchive-as example no longer exists in
plugins/examples/ (and no AssemblyScript code remains in the repo), so
drop its row from the examples table.

* docs(plugins): add Command Line Interface section

The 'navidrome plugin' CLI (list, info, validate, enable, disable, edit,
rescan) was undocumented; the README's only mention was a single inline
'plugin edit --write-access' reference, and it claimed plugins could only
be enabled/disabled via the UI. Add a CLI section with all subcommands
and the 'plugin edit' flags, and link it from Runtime Management.

* docs(plugins): add pdk and types packages to Go PDK table

The Go PDK package table was missing two of the packages that ship under
plugins/pdk/go/: 'types' (shared DTOs used across capabilities and host
services) and 'pdk' (the extism/go-pdk wrapper the README's own examples
already import).

* docs(plugins): correct capabilities and host services in examples table

Several example rows understated what the plugins implement: the
scheduler/websocket callback capabilities were omitted for nowplaying-py,
library-inspector-rs, crypto-ticker, and discord-rich-presence-rs, and
the Discord example also uses the Config host service.

* docs(plugins): state that scheduler/taskqueue permissions require callbacks

Manifest validation rejects a plugin that declares the scheduler or
taskqueue permission without exporting nd_scheduler_callback or
nd_task_execute, but the README worded both callbacks as soft
suggestions (TaskWorker was even labeled optional). Make the load-time
failure explicit in both capability sections.

* docs(plugins): document HTTP, WebSocket, and Task limits and defaults

Add the runtime limits plugins actually hit: HTTP default 10s timeout,
5-redirect cap with per-hop host re-validation, and 10MB response cap;
the 30s timeout on WebSocket callbacks; and the full task_createqueue
parameter list (delayMs, retentionMs) with queue defaults, retention
bounds, the 1MB payload cap, and task persistence across restarts.

* docs(plugins): include scrobbleRetriever in user-scoped authorization note

The ScrobbleRetriever host service added in #5795 is user-scoped like
subsonicapi and scrobbler, but the Security section's user-scoped
authorization item didn't list it.

* docs(plugins): clarify matcher user scoping requires the users permission

The Matcher usage example set opts.Username while the section's manifest
example declares only matcher+library; without the users permission no
users can be assigned to the plugin, so userAccess.resolve rejects the
call at runtime. Make the example unscoped and state that user scoping
requires the users permission with users assigned. Raised by Codex
review on PR #5912.
