Register installed CLI plugins at program start

register_cli_plugins() ran while mvt.ios and mvt.android were being
imported, so importing any part of MVT executed the entry points of every
installed command package. That made plugin loading depend on import
order: a plugin importing from MVT while MVT was still initializing got an
ImportError and was quietly demoted to a broken command, and the same
plugin worked when MVT happened to be imported first.

Move the call into a main() function in each CLI module and point the
console scripts at it, so registration happens once when the program
starts and importing MVT no longer runs third-party code. For packagers:
mvt.ios:cli and mvt.android:cli stay importable, but a wrapper invoking
cli() directly no longer registers the installed plugin commands and
should call main() instead.

-`Command` creates the output folder and writes `command.log`. It orders the

-`alerts.json` and `info.json`. The subclass sets `platform`, `name` and

-
-```python
-from mvt.plugin import Command, MVTModule, convert_unix_to_iso, get_plugin_logger
-
-log = get_plugin_logger(__name__)

-class APKManifest(MVTModule):
-    supported_commands = (("android", "check-apks"),)

-        self.platform = "android"
-        self.name = "check-apks"
-        self.modules = [APKManifest]
-```
-
-`platform` and `name` are the pair the modules declare in
-`supported_commands`. `modules` lists the module classes the command runs,
-imported directly. A command which runs modules of another plugin depends on
-that package in `pyproject.toml` and imports them the same way. `init()`,
-`module_init(module)` and `finish()` are optional hooks. `run()` calls them
-before the run, before each module and after the run.
-
-Wrap the command in a Click command with an `--output` option. Run it, then
-print the alert summary:
-
-```python
-import click
-
-
-@click.command("check-apks")
-@click.option("--output", "-o", type=click.Path(exists=False))

-def cli(output, target_path):
-    cmd = CmdCheckAPKs(target_path=target_path, results_path=output)
-    log.info("Checking APK files at path: %s", target_path)
-    cmd.run()
-    cmd.show_alerts_brief()
-```
-

-
-The base classes are:
-
-- `MVTModule`: the base of every module. It provides `self.results`,
-  `self.alertstore`, `self.log`, `self.indicators` and
-  `get_dependency_results()`. Subclass it directly for a module which reads
-  only the results of other modules.
-- `IOSExtraction`: `("ios", "check-backup")` and `("ios", "check-fs")`. Adds
-  `_find_ios_database()`, which locates a module's database in a backup or in
-  a filesystem dump and repairs it if it is malformed. Adds
-  `_get_backup_files_from_manifest()`, `_get_backup_file_from_id()` and
-  `_get_fs_files_from_patterns()`. Adds `_open_sqlite_db()`, which opens a
-  database read-only.
-- `SysdiagnoseExtraction`: `("ios", "check-sysdiagnose")`. MVT extracts the
-  archive and calls `from_sysdiagnose_folder()` before `run()`. The module
-  reads files with `_get_files_by_pattern()` and `_get_file_content()`.
-  `ips_files` lists the crash reports. See
-  [Check an iOS Sysdiagnose](../ios/sysdiagnose.md).
-- `AndroidQFModule`: `("android", "check-androidqf")`. MVT calls `from_dir()`

-`get_dependency_results()` returns the plain dictionaries the module produced.

-### Replacing a built-in module
-
-A custom module which extends a built-in one runs alongside it, and when the
-two share a slug they write to the same results file. MVT warns about that
-collision, naming both modules, where each came from and the file the later one
-overwrites, but it runs them both. Set `replaces` to the class the module
-supersedes to take that module's place instead: when both are available to a
-command, the named module is dropped from the run.
-
-```python
-from mvt.ios.modules.backup import Manifest as BuiltinManifest
-
-
-class Manifest(BuiltinManifest):
-    supported_commands = (("ios", "check-backup"),)
-    replaces = BuiltinManifest
-```
-
-Keeping the class name of the replaced module, as above, keeps the name
-`--module` selects the module by and the slug its results file is named after.
-A replacement with a different class name writes to a file named after its own
-slug, unless it sets `slug` to the slug of the module it replaces, and
-`--module` still selects it by the name of the replaced module, which MVT logs.
-Taking over the slug of a replaced module is not a collision and is not warned
-about, because that module is no longer part of the run.
-
-Modules which depend on the replaced module receive the replacement instead, so
-`get_dependency_results(BuiltinManifest)` returns the replacement's results. A
-module must not depend on the module it replaces: that module does not run, so
-the replacement has to produce the data itself, and MVT logs a warning when a
-module declares both.
-
-A replacement takes on the obligations of the module it replaces. If it
-declares a dependency the command does not provide, it is skipped like any
-other module with an unavailable dependency, and the module it replaced stays
-out of the run: neither of them produces results, and the modules depending on
-the replaced module are skipped as well.
-
-Subclassing the replaced module is not required, but a replacement which is not
-a subclass is logged with a warning, because its results may not be what the
-modules depending on the replaced module expect. Naming a module the command
-does not run has no effect, and modules which replace each other in a cycle all
-keep running and replace nothing. Every applied substitution is logged, so it
-is recorded in `command.log` when the command runs with an `--output` folder.
-
-Every command resolves replacements on its own. `check-iocs` matches stored
-results files against the slugs of the modules available for that command. A
-replacement which subclasses the module it replaces inherits its
-`check_indicators()`. It is then part of `check-iocs` for its platform and
-re-checks the results file named after its slug. A replacement with no
-`check_indicators()` is not part of `check-iocs`. The built-in module it
-replaced re-checks the file. `check-iocs` matches `--module` on the class name
-only. Pass a differently named replacement's own name there, not the name of
-the module it replaces.
-
-### Importing from MVT
-
-Import from `mvt.plugin` if it has what you need. The names it exports are
-kept working on a best-effort basis. A change to one of them is announced in
-the release notes. Anything else in `mvt` can be imported too, but may change
-between releases without notice. The plugin interface is best effort.
-
-`mvt.plugin` exports the base classes above and `Command`, `Alert` and
-`AlertLevel`, the result types, `DatabaseNotFoundError` and
-`DatabaseCorruptedError`, the timestamp converters, the settings API of
-[Plugin Configuration](plugin_configuration.md), MVT's own `settings`,

-    plugin installed from a private index under a name which also exists on

-    name. Give plugins published to a private index a name which is not taken
-    on PyPI, and treat an unexpected update suggestion as a reason to check
-    where the package would come from.
-
-!!! warning
-
-    MVT never installs or upgrades a plugin itself, it only prints the command
-    which does. Upgrading a plugin in the middle of an investigation changes
-    the modules producing the results, and a plugin runs as trusted code inside
-    the MVT process, so pulling in a new version is a decision for the analyst
-    to make deliberately and not a side effect of running a check.
-
-## Automatic Update Checks
-
-MVT also reports available plugin updates in the banner printed when a command
-starts:
-
-```
-        MVT - Mobile Verification Toolkit
-
-        https://mvt.re
-        Version: 2026.7.29
-
-        Plugin updates available:
-          mvt-plugin-example  1.2.0 → 1.3.0   (pip install -U mvt-plugin-example)
-```
-
-This check runs at most once every 12 hours. In between checks MVT prints the
-findings of the latest check without contacting anything, so a plugin update
-stays visible without a lookup on every command. The
-`mvt plugins check-updates` command checks immediately, regardless of when the
-last check happened.
-
-The automatic check is skipped when the `--disable-update-check` option is
-used, when `NETWORK_ACCESS_ALLOWED` is disabled in the MVT configuration, and
-when no plugins are installed.
-
-## Plugins Installed From a Repository
-
-A plugin installed with `pip install "mvt-plugin-example @ git+<url>"` is
-checked by asking the remote repository which commit the installed revision
-points at now. MVT runs git and ssh in batch mode, so a repository which needs
-credentials MVT does not already have fails the check instead of prompting for
-them. The check is skipped silently when git is not available, when the
-repository cannot be reached, and when access to it is denied.
-
-How the plugin was installed decides what an update means:
-
-- A plugin installed from a branch is reported as outdated when the branch has
-  moved past the installed commit.
-- A plugin installed from a specific commit or a tag is pinned. It is never
-  reported as outdated, however far the branch it came from moves on.
-
-Pinning a plugin to a commit or a tag is therefore the way to keep the modules
-used across an investigation stable.
