Description

SOLR-14404 made it possible to write request handlers that are registered at core container level. This makes it possible for packages to have two types of plugins:

1. Collection level
2. Cluster level

This issue intends to introduce the latter via package manager. The manifest for a package will now specify the type of the plugin. Such plugins can be deployed directly without specifying a collection.
