[Qgis-psc] Resource Sharing plugin in core?

[Luigi Pirelli]

+1 we should find a way to give visibility to important plugins. A startup
GUI could be useful for this!

recommended/endorsed tag and add this tag with "all,installed,new,..." list
in plugin manager

this would avoid a plugin to install endorsed plugins
