Loading a plugin preview now cleans up its temporary download folder afterward

What

When Claude Code loads a plugin from a marketplace preview, it now deletes the temporary folder the preview was downloaded into once loading finishes, whether loading succeeded or failed. If that cleanup itself fails, a warning is logged.

Why

This prevents leftover temporary preview files from accumulating on disk after previewing plugins.
