Change plugin type of existing plugins

Current status

Currently it is not possible to change the plugin type of an already existing plugin. The current workaround is to remove the whole repo and move the files manually to the new plugin.

Feature request

The generator should add necessary files (in case of an upgrade) or remove the unnecessary files (in case of a downgrade).

In case files are removed they should be delete. The user has to check the diff in the git commit and move content that she wants to keep. All other files should remain untouched.

Shared files (e.g., package.json, .yo-rc, .circleci, ...) should be replaced by the new file.

All up- and downgrades between plugin types should be allowed, except for the plugin type bundle and product. The user can not switch from or to bundle and product.

Update

The first approach we took was to adapt theinit-lib, init-slib, ... generators, in order to reuse them to switch to a different plugin. We realized however that the current implementation is too specific for it to allow to upgrade/downgrade to a different plugin, without a lot of refactoring.

The second approach was too hardcore the differences between the different plugins and then for each type run these steps to upgrade/downgrade the plugin. This approach seems to be the way to go but it requires substantial time to implement.

So far we have and example implementation of how to downgrade from a lib-slib to a lib and a lib-slib to a slib

Next steps are:

Implement the upgrade/downgrade functionality for the rest of the plugins using the second approach mentioned above.
- In the last stages refactor the implementation to generate the differences between the plugins dynamically.
