pm install url does not work with a local path

[stefanroelofs]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I learned that I can install custom plugins with the command: pm install http://www.xyz.com/plugin.zip
The parameter needs to be a WellFormedUriString.
See:

Flow.Launcher/Plugins/Flow.Launcher.Plugin.PluginsManager/PluginsManager.cs

Lines 344 to 346 in 566db33

	if (Uri.IsWellFormedUriString(search, UriKind.Absolute)
	&& search.Split('.').Last() == zip)
	return InstallFromWeb(search);

When I try to install a local plugin from my disk this fails.
Try this command pm install file:///c:/plugin.zip
Get this exception:

11:53:48.2918+02:00 - ERROR - PluginsManager.InstallOrUpdate - An error occurred while downloading plugin
EXCEPTION OCCURS: System.NotSupportedException: The 'file' scheme is not supported.

   at async Task Flow.Launcher.Plugin.PluginsManager.PluginsManager.InstallOrUpdateAsync(UserPlugin plugin) in C:/projects/flow-launcher/Plugins/Flow.Launcher.Plugin.PluginsManager/PluginsManager.cs:line 137

Thanks!

Describe the solution you'd like

Maybe detect a valid path and just copy the zip file?
Or add another keyword: pm install local c:\plugin.zip?

Also it is not documented that you can install a plugin by url. This would be nice to add to the docs somewhere.
