Select plugin version prototype (Not meant to be merged)

Description

Fixes #6 and #315

This code uses https://github.com/wp-media/automation-plugin-version-manager to build plugins from Git refs (tags, branches, and commits). The repo is written in safe Rust but exposed to NodeJS JavaScript/TypeScript through napi.rs leveraging Rust safety from NodeJS with all TypeScript types defined.

This is just a test. If this approach is approved, we can find a better way of writing the code. I just used a BeforeAll hook to build plugins there using some environment variables, but we can change this if we think of a better approach.

To test this, just try the following:

For WP Rocket:

E2E_WPR_PREV=v3.20.4 E2E_WPR_NEW=v3.20.5 npm run test:e2e

For BackWPup:

E2E_WPR_BACKWPUP=5.6.5 npm run test:bwpup

Passing existing Git tags to the environment variables.

For private repositories like BackWPup, the method createWithTokenResolution will attempt to resolve any git/github authentication in the environment (SSH keys, Github tokens, etc)

Detailed scenario

What was tested

Plugin building before E2E test.

How to test

Pass any gitref to the environment variables (tags, branches, or commits), the tool will build the plugins from there:

For WP Rocket:

E2E_WPR_PREV=v3.20.4 E2E_WPR_NEW=v3.20.5 npm run test:e2e

For BackWPup:

E2E_WPR_BACKWPUP=5.6.5 npm run test:bwpup

Pull request overview

Introduces a prototype workflow to automatically build WP Rocket / BackWPup plugin ZIPs from Git refs at test startup (via APVM), so E2E runs can target specific versions without manually preparing plugin/*.zip files.

Changes:

• Add a BeforeAll hook that builds plugin artifacts from env-provided git refs and writes them to the expected stable ZIP names in ./plugin/.
• Add helper logic to build via apvm-napi and move the resulting artifact to a known path.
• Add apvm-napi as a new dev dependency (with lockfile updates).

File	Description
src/support/hooks.ts	Adds APVM-powered plugin build step in a global BeforeAll hook and a helper to move artifacts into plugin/ ZIP paths used by tests.
package.json	Adds apvm-napi dependency to enable building plugins from Git refs during test runs.
package-lock.json	Locks apvm-napi to a specific commit (currently via an SSH-resolved URL).
