This PR adds support for the new experimental Manage Jenkins UI for Plugins and its subpages.

Changes

A new section has been added to Manage Jenkins, titled Plugins
There's three new entries: 'Updates', 'Available', 'Installed'
'Advanced settings' has been moved to an overflow - would be good to get thoughts on this, my thinking is the label/icon is a little too generic and might confuse people by being top level
'Download progress' shows when there are downloads

Testing done

UI works as expected
There should be no regressions when the Experimental Manage Jenkins flag is off

Submitter checklist

The Jira issue, if it exists, is well-described.
The changelog entries and upgrade guidelines are appropriate for the audience affected by the change (users or developers, depending on the change) and are in the imperative mood (see examples). Fill in the Proposed upgrade guidelines section only if there are breaking changes or changes that may require extra steps from users during upgrade.
There is automated testing or an explanation as to why this change has no tests.
New public classes, fields, and methods are annotated with @Restricted or have @since TODO Javadocs, as appropriate.
New deprecations are annotated with @Deprecated(since = "TODO") or @Deprecated(forRemoval = true, since = "TODO"), if applicable.
UI changes do not introduce regressions when enforcing the current default rules of Content Security Policy Plugin. In particular, new or substantially changed JavaScript is not defined inline and does not call eval to ease future introduction of Content Security Policy (CSP) directives (see documentation).
For dependency updates, there are links to external changelogs and, if possible, full differentials.
For new APIs and extension points, there is a link to at least one consumer.

Maintainer checklist

There are at least two (2) approvals for the pull request and no outstanding requests for change.
Conversations in the pull request are over, or it is explicit that a reviewer is not blocking the change.
Changelog entries in the pull request title and/or Proposed changelog entries are accurate, human-readable, and in the imperative mood.
Proper changelog labels are set so that the changelog can be generated automatically.
If the change needs additional upgrade steps from users, the upgrade-guide-needed label is set and there is a Proposed upgrade guidelines section in the pull request title (see example).
If it would make sense to backport the change to LTS, a Jira issue must exist, be a Bug or Improvement, and be labeled as lts-candidate to be considered (see query).

-window.scrollTo(0, 10000);


This results in weird scrolling behaviour every time the page loads, don't see a great reason to keep it for either legacy/experimental view.

Advanced settings appear to be cut-off on all plugin manager pages:

Advanced settings should probably have a breadcrumb?

Advanced settings should probably have a breadcrumb?

All of them could probably do with it tbh

timja

LGTM, breadcrumb can come later
