Rebased and cleaned version of #719.

Changes (only subdomain plugin work, no unrelated workflow/sidebar/e2e/lint changes):

  • Remove subdomain-finder plugin (100% duplicate of subfinder)
  • Differentiate subfinder as quick passive enumeration
  • Differentiate subdomain_discovery as comprehensive configurable enumeration
  • Update PLUGINS.md catalog with clear role descriptions
  • Refresh checksums for modified plugins

Fixes #543

…r, and subdomain_discovery

- Remove subdomain-finder (100% duplicate of subfinder — same binary,
  same command template, same fields, no unique value)
- Differentiate subfinder as quick/minimal passive enumeration with
  a single input
- Differentiate subdomain_discovery as comprehensive/configurable
  enumeration with thread and source coverage tuning
- Refresh checksums for both modified plugins
- Update PLUGINS.md catalog to reflect the final taxonomy

Fixes utksh1#543

Approved. This is the focused version of the subdomain plugin clarification, removes the duplicate plugin entry, updates the catalogue, and CI is green.
