Plugins installed from npm are now treated like local plugins for update eligibility

What

When Claude Code checks whether a plugin can be updated remotely, plugins sourced from the npm marketplace are now special-cased: the check that normally blocks remote updates for local plugins returns immediately (no block) for npm-sourced plugins, and the plugin-info logic treats npm the same way it treats local plugins.

Why

This avoids incorrectly treating npm-installed plugins the same as ordinary local plugins for the purposes of the "can't update a local plugin remotely" restriction.
