Run: nuxi prepare

Describe the bug

Starting from nuxt 3.5.0, plugins created by template (addPluginTemplate / addTemplate -> addPlugin) don't get registered to .nuxt/types/plugins.d.ts when generated inside the .nuxt folder.

As we can see from the reproduction repo, the InjectionType<typeof import("../plugins/hello").default> is missing from the plugins.d.ts.

It causes the useNuxtApp().$hello type to be unknown.

Additional context

If we generate the template outside the .nuxt folder, it requires running nuxi prepare at least twice to make it registered to .nuxt/types/plugins.d.ts.

This is almost certainly because we do not include files that do not exist in the types:

nuxt/packages/nuxt/src/core/templates.ts

Line 101 in b5b2b47

.filter(p => !isAbsolute(p.src) || existsSync(p.src) || existsSync(p.src.replace(EXTENSION_RE, '.d.ts')))

But on first running nuxi prepare command, the file does not yet exist.
