v1.3.0-alpha.2

NOTE: This pre-release version of the Tanzu CLI is recommended if one is expected to install and use any CLI plugin that leverages an experimental feature in v1.3.0-alpha.1 version of the tanzu plugin runtime to specific how to map the plugin's command to an alternate location.

This release is also required to interact with tanzu-type contexts connecting to environment that exposes both Project names and IDs.

Last but not least, this release lays the groundwork for receiving CLI metadata update between CLI releases. In particular, users with at least 1.3.0-alpha.2 version of the CLI installed may now receive a message to upgraded to a new CLI version should one become available.
