wp plugin install: Accepts also path to full or partial database backup .sql (.zip)

[porg]

• See: User Goal: wp plugin commands to reinstall extensions exactly (active/inactive, auto updates on/off) from list file or database backup ideas#171

Proposal

• For an automated reinstallation of the extensions (themes, plugins) in their exact state (Status: active/inactive ; auto updates: on/off) in theory the user only need access to a partial or full Wordpress database backup file.

• As long as the program finds the relevant table wp_options with the relevant *_plugins rows in that database backup it restores the plugins accordingly.

• Should support plaintext database dumps (.sql) or also compressed dumps (e.g. .sql.zip)

That would spare the use the need to back up an extensions-list (step °3 in wp-cli/ideas#171) in addition to a database backup (°2 in wp-cli/ideas#171).

Thanks for the suggestion!

The suggested behavior is outside the scope of this particular command. It would make more sense in a standalone package: wp-cli/ideas#171 (comment)
