Just yesterday, I merged the marketplace installation mechanism into Magpie.

I am finishing some last wrinkles, but I found it far superior. Since
August, marketplace installation is supported by everyone.

It works great across multiple Harness instances.

Suggestion: We should likely:

* do similar marketplace installation in incubator repo
* liink the repo skill to magpie for installation via "trusted sources"
(after it will get marketplace installation - to expose skill family / docs
* move over the incubator-related skills from magpie back here (and link
them from Magpie).

Justin - others - I am happy to PR it all if we are good.

Stefan, Tison,

Once we do it there will be two installation methods possible:

1) Directly from the incubator:

/plugin marketplace apache/incubator
/plugin install releasecheck:apache-incubator

2) Via magpie (still skills will be maintained in the incubator):

/plugin marketplace apache/magpie
/plugin install apache-incubator:apache-magpie

The second method will include all the goodies from Magpie:

* secure/isolated setup of the CLIs
* magpie utilities (status, sandbox bypass / support, deterministic
agents-guard preventing escaping the auto-approve sandbox)
* privacy gateway
* discovery via https://magpie.apache.org

How does this sound?
