Sebastiaan van Stijn 9b2f831452 cli-plugins/manager: ignore broken symlinks
Before this patch, a broken symlink would print a warning;

    docker info > /dev/null
    WARNING: Plugin "/Users/thajeztah/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-feedback" is not valid: failed to fetch metadata: fork/exec /Users/thajeztah/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-feedback: no such file or directory

After this patch, such symlinks are ignored:

    docker info > /dev/null

With debug enabled, we don't ignore the faulty plugin, which will
make the warning shown on docker info;

    mkdir -p ~/.docker/cli-plugins
    ln -s nosuchplugin ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-brokenplugin
    docker --debug info
    Client:
     Version:    29.0.0-dev
     Context:    default
     Debug Mode: true
     Plugins:
      buildx: Docker Buildx (Docker Inc.)
        Version:  v0.25.0
        Path:     /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/docker-buildx
    WARNING: Plugin "/Users/thajeztah/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-brokenplugin" is not valid: failed to fetch metadata: fork/exec /Users/thajeztah/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-brokenplugin: no such file or directory

    # ...

We should als consider passing a "seen" map to de-duplicate entries.
Entries can be either a direct symlink or in a symlinked path (for
which we can filepath.EvalSymlinks). We need to benchmark the overhead
of resolving the symlink vs possibly calling the plugin (to get their
metadata) further down the line.
