cli-plugins/manager: wrapAsPluginError: don't special-case nil

This was a pattern inheritted from pkg/errors.Wrapf, which ignored
nil errors for convenience. However, it is error-prone, as it is
not obvious when returning a nil-error.

All call-sites using `wrapAsPluginError` already do a check for
nil errors, so remove this code to prevent hard to find bugs.
