According to the last feedback from upstream maintainers on Hope's README regarding how they don't agree with the sharing of backstage dependencies, it might not make sense to include mentions of the `rhdh-cli` which pushes backstage deps as peer dependencies.

We should probably want until the 2 pending PRs related to backend dynamic plugin README updates and module federation are merged and assess their response to those before pushing this to upstream for review

Wait until cli bundle is available in upstream? https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHIDP-12402

Story

As a user of Upstream Backstage, I want to have a simple option to bootstrap an application that supports dynamic frontend and backend plugins.

For this purpose we should either:

discuss with upstream maintainers to include the dynamic plugins support (though disabled until a given config value is added) in example apps and in the default createApp template
or provide an alternate template that can be selected when using createApp in order to create a backstage application that supports dynamic plugins

We should also update the upstream documentation of these features accordingly.
