Add plugin.json linting task to the common mage build pipeline about grafana-plugin-sdk-go

[ryantxu]

I think yarn could/should call mage, but not the other way around

Any backend linting etc should be in mage -- frontend can handle the whole process

[ryantxu]

closing since this belongs in toolkit (and is mostly there)

I think it does make sense!

[marefr]

Maybe would make sense to add it to @grafana/toolkit instead since both frontend and backend would find it useful?

[aknuds1]

@marefr Possibly? Not sure.

My assumption is that frontend-only plugins would use the build part of the SDK as well for publishing etc. We should have one user-facing way to package, publish, lint etc plugins imo.

Currently scaffolding, building, testing, linting and packaging is implemented in toolkit. I guess the question here is if mage should call yarn tasks from @grafana/toolkit to manage frontend tasks as well? And/or if mage should be required for developing frontend plugins.

Does @ryantxu or @dprokop have any input here?

Toolkit does most of this quite nicely. GEL is the only exception because it has no frontend... it likely makes sense to use yarn to build/package it anyway so that it is not a special flower.

Yes! We should stick to one process.

I didn't know the toolkit did all this work already. But given that I think we should try to hide mage as much as possible from the user.

Sounds sensible enough for me also to have yarn or grafana-toolkit call Mage.
