StreamlinkDeprecationWarningwhenis_global=Truesetup_plugin_argsin the CLI moduleThis is partly cherry-picked from the (current state of the) first commit of #5033 where global plugin arguments get removed, and it instead deprecates the usage of global plugin arguments and just removes them from Streamlink's builtin plugins and the docs.
Very likely unnecessary, because I don't think global plugin arguments are used by third party plugin implementations, but just in case, deprecating them prior to publishing a release with a breaking change is probably a better idea.
Note that this will remove the "supported plugins" list from the description of the
--mux-subtitlesCLI argument. In a future change, more metadata could be added to the plugin modules which chould then be shown in the docs and man page (via the custom argparse extension). The--helptext however won't be able to read plugin module metadata like this.
