Create an ADR for the new OCM Plugin System

[jakobmoellerdev]

Description

We need to create an Architecture Decision Record (ADR) to document the design choices, trade-offs, and rationale for the new OCM Plugin System. The ADR will serve as a central reference point for the development team and stakeholders, ensuring alignment on the implementation approach.

Acceptance Criteria

• Purpose and Scope: Clearly define the need for the plugin system, its scope, and the problems it aims to solve.
• Design Overview: Provide a high-level description of the proposed plugin system architecture.
• Trade-offs and Alternatives: Discuss alternative approaches considered, their pros and cons, and why the proposed approach was selected.
• Implications: Highlight technical, operational, or maintenance implications of the chosen design.
• Future Considerations: Include any future extensions, scaling considerations, or potential challenges.
• Team Review: Ensure the ADR is reviewed and approved by key stakeholders and team members.

Additional Information

• Background: The plugin system is a crucial enhancement to OCM, designed to enable modularity, flexibility, and extensibility. It will allow users to integrate custom functionality with minimal changes to the core system.
• References: Include links to related documentation, prototypes, or discussions that informed the ADR creation.
• Template: Use the organization's standard ADR template to ensure consistency. (https://github.com/open-component-model/ocm-k8s-toolkit/blob/main/docs/adr/template.md)

The ADR is in draft mode. I wrote up the main points and now I'm detailing the approaches and findings we had during implementation.
