Enable ZE extensions to retrieve profiles not in schema

[gejohnston]

Is your feature or enhancement request related to a problem or limitation? Please describe

The schema for a profile is only added when a CLI plugin is installed. However, if only the corresponding ZE extension is installed, the profile can be created, but no schema for that profile is added. Because the ZE extension cannot retrieve a profile that does not have a schema, the ZE extension cannot use its profile unless and until the customer installs the corresponding CLI plugin. We do not want to require customers to install the CLI or a specific plugin in order to use a ZE extension.

Describe your enhancement idea

Enable ZE extenders to retrieve their needed profiles.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• One possibility is to modify exiting APIs to retrieve profiles, even if they have no schema.
• It possible that a modification resulting from following issue may make any additional modifications unnecessary.
  • Enable extenders to record their use of profiles #1964

Provide any additional context

Could this be considered as resolved?

With #1964 we added the ability to record the use of profiles. I believe this helps us determine whether or not to remove a profile type from the schema. And as long as an extender has recorded their use of that profile type, the existing APIs should be able to find said profile in the schema.

I might be mixing things up though 😋
