Prefixed plugin metadata:

				
					    "meta": {
        "name": {
            "text":"Siren build-it plugin" 
        },
        "description": {
            "text": "This plugin automatically creates siren device for controlling Ezlo Secure speaker functionality"
        },
        "author": {
            "text": "Ezlo Innovation"
        },
        "prefix":"auto-generated-prefix-value",
        "size":34252525,
        "type":"node",
        "language":"lua",
        "placement": {
            "static": true,
            "custom": true
        }
    }

If a plugin metadata contains non-empty prefix value, the config.json/id property should contain this prefix in it ({prefix}{underscoreSymbol}{shortPluginName}), and the whole plugin should be formatted to prepared to use this plugin name:

All paths inside of the plugin configs should use the prefixed name of a plugin;
All arguments of the Lua require(), loadfile() and dofile() calls should contain a prefixed plugin name;
The folder where the plugin is installed should also match the prefixed name of a plugin.
