Description

Some components are not part of the binary we release for NiFi. Such components are built through specific profiles and the NARs can be downloaded from the internet.

However from a user perspective and for a better visibility, it'd be great to have the associated documentation available on the NiFi website:

https://nifi.apache.org/docs.html

Maybe there could be a specific way/icon to display such components in the list and add a "disclaimer" saying that the components are not available out of the bow but can be downloaded from public repositories.

It could also open the door to include documentation of "community" components that we don't include but which would definitely be beneficial for the community.
