If a plugin is installed in the PACKER_PLUGIN_PATH, and its version contains metadata, we reject it. This is because metadata is free-form data, which could then make it possible to have multiple conflicting versions of a plugin installed, so we don't support it and explicitely reject plugins like those. A valid plugin with metadata in its version information should be installed without its metadata part, so there can only be one variant of the plugin installed at a specific version.
