Installs a new Global Plugin into the Plugin Manager and optionally starts it running. A global plugin belongs to the Plugin Manager, rather than a specific Scene, and can be accessed and used by all Scenes in your game.
The key property is what you use to access this plugin from the Plugin Manager.
this.plugins.install('powerupsPlugin', pluginCode);
// and from within the scene:
this.plugins.get('powerupsPlugin');
This method is called automatically by Phaser if you install your plugins using either the Game Configuration object, or by preloading them via the Loader.
The same plugin can be installed multiple times into the Plugin Manager by simply giving each instance its own unique key.
