Prerequisite for ScratchOrg Pooling

Deploy the following metadata additions to standard object "ScratchOrgInfo" which includes custom fields, a validation rule, and a workflow to a DevHub as pre-requisites to enable the associated scratch org pool commands to work.

Note: The sfpower-scratchorg-pool has been created as an Org-Dependent Unlocked Package instead of an Unlocked Package due to the ScratchOrgInfo Object being only available in Production or Developer Edition Orgs/Trial Orgs that have DevHub enabled.

There are multiple options to install the supporting package to your environment
