Title: Introduce --skip-plugins flag

Scenario: one particular plugin is preventing WP-CLI from functioning.

You can't run `wp plugin deactivate`, because the faulty plugin is loaded
before that command is executed.

You might not be able to delete or rename the plugin folder, because it
might be a critical component of a production site.
