Updates for Camunda Modeler 5

[Skaiir]

Hello, Valentin from Camunda here.

With Camunda Modeler 5.0.0 we are making some changes to how we handle plugins.

First off, our docs have moved here.

In short, plugins now work for Cloud bpmn-js diagrams, and will automatically be picked up. This plugin was identified as non breaking with some partial functionality. If you'd like to opt-out of cloud diagrams, you'll have to use the new plugin registration helper functions that were shipped in https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler-plugin-helpers v5.0.0, i.e replacing registerBpmnJSPlugin with registerPlatformBpmnJSPlugin

Or you could extend the plugin to fully support Cloud, or keep it in this state, whatever you decide is best.

Note that opting out will break backwards compatibility, since those registration functions do nothing pre Camunda Modeler 5, so you may want to reference an older build somewhere in the README for people using older versions of Camunda Modeler, if you decide to go that direction.

Feel free to ask me anything about this 😄
