Investigate manual / alternative plugin installation #3

We're using Antibody, but this plugin has a manual option: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions#manual-installation

Another mention of manual installation: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions/blob/master/INSTALL.md#manual-git-clone

This one lists Homebrew first, and didn't explicitly show a plugin variation: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search#install

This one dissuades us from using a plugin manager: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting/blob/master/INSTALL.md#with-a-plugin-manager

The zsh-syntax-highlighting authors recommend manual installation over the use of a framework or plugin manager.

And another (not under zsh-users): https://github.com/zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting#manual

Rather than manual, perhaps a different plugin manager?

Spaceship prompt has longer manual instructions than other plugins.

It can also be installed with npm, so we could put it in setup-node.zsh with other global installs.
