Add 'vue update' command

See original GitHub issue

What problem does this feature solve?

Hello,

The goal of this request is to be able to update a plugin when it’s already installed within a project.

Thanks a lot!

What does the proposed API look like?

If I have installed Apollo client with vue add apollo, I would like to do vue update apollo if a new version is out few days after.

vue add also invokes the plugin, so does more that yarn add or npm i.

Sounds fine in theory, and may be a candidate for a future minor release, but I think this should be postponed until 3.0.0 has reached its real release.

I could imagine a thousand things going wrong if somone runs such an update on an existing project, maybe one that has been extesively modified since the plugin was first invoked.

Chances are that the files you intend to update are no longer there, or have been extensively modified by the developer. Adding a new file might overwrite an existing one that the developer added.

I realize that all of these problems exist to a smaller degree when initially invoking a plugin, and they are manageable with some level of care by the plugin author.

But I think we should wait with such a feature until 3.0.0 has matured a bit, we see the patterns that emerge from new plugins, have a guideline for plugin authors in place that recommends best practices and so on.
