PowerToys Run should provide a mechanism to disable plugins if they're missing dependencies #18406

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The VS Code plugin can be toggled on even if you don't have VS Code installed. IMO, it should be disabled and grayed out in the settings page, with a message indicating why.

This could be accomplished by a new interface in Wox.Plugin which plugins could implement to report back a status saying whether they can be enabled or not, and if not a string saying why.

Scenario when this would be used?

For the VS Code plugin, and other plugins that depend on the presence of various dependencies. For example, a OneNote plugin would require OneNote installed, the Everything plugin depends on Everything, a Graph plugin would require an MSA logged in, etc.

I will call out, these plugins are disabled by default but good idea.
