when resolving plugins.

This reverts commit ef5e5fa03f.
Running new plugins under a new pgid isn't a viable solution due to
it causing issues with plugin processes attempting to read from the
TTY (see: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/47073).

Changes were made in 1554ac3b5f to provide
a mechanism for the CLI to notify running plugin processes that they
should exit, in order to improve the general CLI/plugin UX. The current
implementation boils down to:
1. The CLI creates a socket
2. The CLI executes the plugin
3. The plugin connects to the socket
4. (When) the CLI receives a termination signal, it uses the socket to
notify the plugin that it should exit
5. The plugin's gets notified via the socket, and cancels it's `cmd.Context`,
which then gets handled appropriately
This change works in most cases and fixes the issue it sets out to solve
(see: https://github.com/docker/compose/pull/11292) however, in the case
where the user has a TTY attached and the plugin is not already handling
received signals, steps 4+ changes:
4. (When) the CLI receives a termination signal, before it can use the
socket to notify the plugin that it should exit, the plugin process
also receives a signal due to sharing the pgid with the CLI
Since we now have a proper "job control" mechanism, we can simplify the
scenarios by executing the plugins with their own process group id,
thereby removing the "double notification" issue and making it so that
plugins can handle the same whether attached to a TTY or not.
In order to make this change "plugin-binary" backwards-compatible, in
the case that a plugin does not connect to the socket, the CLI passes
the signal to the plugin process.

Also includes the scaffolding for finding a validating plugin candidates.
Argument validation is moved to RunE to support this, so `noArgs` is removed.
