suport new Packer plugin installation

[FalcoSuessgott]

This PR is based #59 and adds support for the new packer initplugin installation.

I updated the README.md accordingly.

You can test it with my fork:

# packer.pkr.hcl
packer {
  required_version = ">= 1.9.0"

  required_plugins {
    goss = {
      version = "0.0.7"
      source  = "github.com/FalcoSuessgott/goss"
    }
  }
}

$> PACKER_PLUGIN_PATH=_packer-plugins packer init .
Installed plugin github.com/falcosuessgott/goss v0.0.7 in "_packer-plugins/github.com/falcosuessgott/goss/packer-plugin-goss_v0.0.7_x5.0_linux_amd64"
$> tree _packer-plugins 
_packer-plugins
└── github.com
    └── falcosuessgott
        └── goss
            ├── packer-plugin-goss_v0.0.7_x5.0_linux_amd64
            └── packer-plugin-goss_v0.0.7_x5.0_linux_amd64_SHA256SUM

Thanks for merging! In order to make it available, you would have to tag it. In the README I assumed the next tag would be 3.2.0 :)

Hey @FalcoSuessgott and @btassone, thanks so much for getting this in. Can the repository be renamed to packer-plugin-goss to support plugin installation?

Packer expects plugin repositories to have the following pattern: github.com/org/packer-plugin-xxxx

Currently, packer init fails because the repository is named YaleUniversity/packer-provisioner-goss:

Failed getting the "github.com/yaleuniversity/goss" plugin:
1 error occurred:
        * GET https://api.github.com/repos/yaleuniversity/packer-plugin-goss/git/matching-refs/tags: 404 Not Found []

The binaries should also be rebuilt, so that the file names are in this format: packer-plugin-goss_vX.Y.Z_x5.0_OS_ARCH.zip

[FalcoSuessgott]

Oh, yeah indeed. I forgot that I renamed my fork to packer-plugin-goss in order to make it work.

@btassone do you have the permissions to rename the repo?

[btassone]

Yep! I'll make that change here shortly. Thanks for the heads up.

ping @btassone

Hi folks, we would also benefit from this renaming so if there is anyway we (or I personally) can help land this please post here so we can do so.

@ian-flores @F21 @FalcoSuessgott

Opened up a new pr #70 to continue discussion on this

[btassone]

Just as an update in case folks didn't see in the other PR. You should be all set.
