Sample plugin has no difference from other plugins, it is wrong to specially design a command for that sample plugin.
A plugin should have a way to disable itself, I prefer the original way to disable a plugin like below.

In plugin descriptor xml file, comment out all tabs, if no tabs is defined, then the plugin will not be loaded.
By this way, no special command is needed, no additional overhead in coding is needed.
Does that mean the user needs to find this file and uncomment these codes when he want to try the plugin.

Usually, a user wants to add a new plugin, he can reference the sample plugin codes.
He can try it first to how it works and then read the code to how he can make himself plugin.

we can change "--enbale-plugins" to "--enable-sample".
our switch command("--enable-sample") is also an example, ti tells user how he build a plugin with kimchi
together if he just add one plugin.

Also he can add "with"  command for his plugins if he wants to add more than one plugin.
such as:
--with-plugins=plugin1,plugin2,plugin3
The  "with"  command is similar to switch command, a plugin developer can read the autotool document to
learn more about it.

sample plugin is used to test as a plugin demo.

we disable it by default.

use this command to enable sample plugin
$ ./autogen.sh --enable-plugins
As this command is specially used to enable the sample plugin, so the param of "enable-plugins" is quite confusing, looks like enabling all the plugins.
If it is only to enable that sample plugin, I do not think it is worth to add such a command specially for that.
