FEATURE: filter additional keywords for the sidebar

[lis2]

With the new admin sidebar restructure, we have a link to "Installed plugins". We would like to ensure that when the admin is searching for a plugin name like "akismet" or "automation" this link will be visible.

Also when entering the plugins page, related plugins should be highlighted.

I like your thinking with the keywords here, but I think:

Since at some point we want to make an admin global search, and you have already been experimenting with site setting search from the sidebar, it might be worth allowing for a bit more depth in your keywords. Something like:

keywords: {
   admin_installed_plugins: {  navigation: ["chat", "ai", ...], relatedSettings: ["enable_chat", "enable_discourse_ai", ... },
   experimental: { relatedSettings: ["experimental_setting_name_1", "experimental_setting_name_2"] },
   "admin_plugin_discourse-ai": { relatedSettings: ["every_single", "ai_setting" ] }
}

A simplified version of the site settings (just name and description) could be preloaded for admins in the application controller in future to allow for this, or even just a server-side portion of sidebar/admin-nav-map.js to match up nav items to site settings.

Anyway the point is, we should allow for a bit more depth by using objects for each sidebar keyword group from the start :)

Overall I really like this, seeing the plugin highlighted in the list is so great, and the settings will be the icing of the cake. It's going to be so much easier to find stuff in the admin portal 😭

Only one more minor thing, but otherwise LGTM, thanks for making changes :)
