Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing `forc plugins` implementation in the Sway CLI source code. Look for the current output format and determine how to add a flag for JSON or TOML serialization. Use a library like serde for serialization. The flag could be ` json` or ` toml`. Ensure backward compatibility by defaulting to the existing human readable format.
