Plugin install helper gains a preview option, and marketplace installs reuse an already-resolved registry lookup

What

The internal helper that materializes (installs and links) plugins now accepts a new preview option, off by default, alongside its existing linkFarm/linkFarmProducer options. Separately, when installing a plugin from a marketplace entry, the code now reuses an already-resolved registry lookup to find the marketplace directory instead of performing a second, separate lookup.

Why

These are internal groundwork changes; the preview option's effect isn't described, and the marketplace-lookup change is a small efficiency cleanup rather than a behavior change.
