Hi team, i m building my plugin and want it to be in snake case folder installed after installing on kibana rpm version. How to reach it ? After running `bin/kibana-plugin install file:///local/path/to/custom_plugin.zip` it installes plugin into folder in camelCase, but i need folder to be in snake\_case

As i see native kibana plugins folders are in snake\_case and camelCase naming folders is not best practice according to architecture of kibana. Kibana 7.10.2

The plugin is installed to the plugins directory as camelCase as the plugin is named. I am curious why you are trying to change it or what it's affecting.
