Update the plugins page for the new process
This includes defining the process and providing a template for a new issue to
add new plugins. I did go through and audit `No IRC /WHO` so we had at least
one validated entry.
Testing Done:
Ran `npm run hugo:server` locally and verified the page worked and checked the new links.

Its website is currently hosted at [silc.github.io](https://silc.github.io). ### What do I need to use the SILC protocol? You need to install the SILC Toolkit and the libpurple SILC plugin. These were generally provided as packages in several Linux distributions, however, many distributions have begun dropping these packages due to being "unmaintained." If you're compiling Pidgin and libpurple yourself, see the `./configure --help` for specifying the location of the SILC headers and libraries. If you're compiling with an SRPM, use `--with-silc` to build the `purple-silc` RPM On Windows, the SILC Toolkit is installed with Pidgin.
