Xmake Addons

An addon extends xmake itself: plugins (new commands), rules, toolchains, project templates, lua modules and includes files. It is installed once per user, not per project.

::: warning Addons need xmake from the dev branch (they are newer than v3.1.0). Before it, the same role was played by xmake plugin --install, which only handles plugins. :::
