Pujit Mehrotra bb9b539732 chore: fix local plugin builds & docs (#1851)
Raised by [MitchellThompkins](https://github.com/MitchellThompkins) in
#1848

- Documents how to use Docker to build a local Connect plugin
- Local Plugin flow will now build workspace packages before proceeding
with plugin infra + build
- Removes recommendation to run `pnpm build:watch` from root, as this
race conditions and build cache issues.
- Makes `pnpm dev` from root parallel, preventing servers from blocking
each other.

Internationalization
