New allow_plugin_directory_search policy setting controls plugin directory search under compliance modes like HIPAA

What

A new policy permission key, allow_plugin_directory_search, has been added alongside the existing allow_plugin_skill_search setting. It's available both under HIPAA compliance mode and in the general list of enterprise policy keys, and it governs whether plugin directory search is allowed under restrictive compliance settings.

Why

This gives organizations using strict compliance modes (such as HIPAA or zero data retention) a separate, explicit control over plugin directory search, rather than only being able to control plugin skill search.
