Allow plugin developers to specify that their plugin is dependent on other plugins

[BenSurgisonGDS]

What

The prototype will error if a plugin is installed that relies on another plugin to work if that plugin is not installed. If a plugin that is relied upon by another plugin is uninstalled this will also cause an error.

To allow plugins to specify that the plugin they are dependant on must also be installed, we will:

• Extend the kit config for a plugin to specify peer dependencies
• Update the kit to be aware of the above
• Dealing with specified dependency versions will be done at a later date

Done when

• The user experience is designed
• The new user experience is implemented
• Changes communicated to plugin authors

Who needs to work on this

• designers
• developers

Who needs to review this
