Breaking changes

---

PR #1112

The pluginx.ExecuteCommand function signature was changed.

Old:

func ExecuteCommand(ctx context.Context, rawCmd string) (string, error)

New:

func ExecuteCommand(ctx context.Context, rawCmd string, mutators ...ExecuteCommandMutation) (ExecuteCommandOutput, error)

Reason
The ExecuteCommand function signature has changed to unify the command execution functions. The new signature allows for passing mutation functions to customize the execution and ensures future extensibility without breaking changes. Additionally, the introduction of the ExecuteCommandOutput type provides direct access to the stdout and stderr of the executed command. This is particularly useful when commands produce output on stderr even if they are not failed.

---

The pluginx.ExecuteCommandWithEnvs function has been deprecated. To achieve the same functionality, use pluginx.ExecuteCommand(ctx, "cmd", pluginx.ExecuteCommandEnvs(envs)).
