pdm-project pdm plugin editable mode install file URL parsing

Older notes for pdm-project__pdm-3440 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.

Why the common answers are incomplete

PDM plugin installation in editable mode mishandles file URL parsing.

Parse file:// URLs into local paths before invoking editable install logic, keeping the editable flag attached to the local project.

This issue is about plugin editable install, so normal package dependency parsing should remain unchanged.
