META-INF/plugin.xml is added so the IDE can load the plugin (its version is filled from `gradle.properties`). To build it, `packageIdeaPlugin` task is created. The Toolbox ZIP is unchanged apart from the extra descriptor inside the main JAR.

An upcoming IntelliJ feature lets the IDE load Toolbox plugins directly, through
RemoteDevExtension. To make this possible, IDE needs to load a plugin from a JAR under<plugin>/lib/that containsMETA-INF/plugi.xml. This PR adds that descriptor and a separate task that builds the ZIP in the layout IDE expects.The Toolbox plugin stays the same.
Note: We don't bundle the Toolbox API JARs, which is why
plugin.xmldepends onintellij.libraries.toolbox.remote.dev.How to test
./gradlew packageIdeaPlugin.Settings | Plugins, choose Install Plugin from Disk and select the ZIP frombuild/distributions/.Help | Find Action → Registry…and enablejetbrainsd.new.connection.flow.enabledandjetbrainsd.toolbox.plugins.enabled.
