Allow absolute screenshot URLs in plugin.json

Line 88 in 63f4223

pass.ReportResult(pass.AnalyzerName, pathRelativeToMetadata, fmt.Sprintf("plugin.json: %s path should be relative to plugin.json: %s", path.kind, path.path), "Don't use absolute paths inside plugin.json")

My explanation can be found in this forum post. In summary, I am getting this error because I am putting absolute links to my screenshots in plugin.json. I believe that this restriction should be lifted for screenshots, because when relative paths are used, the screenshots are packaged in with the plugin and get an asset size limit warning.

I found a temporary fix. Disable the metadatapaths analyzer. Related PR: #107

Hi @6nv .

So far we require the screenshot to use relative urls as this is the way our Grafana Catalog works. This is not something we can change in the validator only.
