Issue details

currently, the pulumi-backstage-plugin is limited to displaying information about a single pulumi stack within a backstage component. while this is useful, there are scenarios where users may need to view multiple stacks or even an entire pulumi project within a single backstage component.

feature request:
to enhance the flexibility and usability of the pulumi-backstage-plugin, i propose the following feature:

1. allow users to configure multiple pulumi stacks within a single backstage component. this would enable users to view and manage multiple stacks simultaneously, providing a more comprehensive overview of their infrastructure.

2. alternatively or additionally, provide the ability to pull in an entire pulumi project and display a dropdown menu allowing users to select a specific stack within that project. this would give users the flexibility to navigate between different stacks within a project directly from the backstage component.

use case:

• users who manage multiple pulumi stacks for different environments (e.g., development, staging, production) or regions (e.g., us-east-1, us-west-2) within a single project would benefit from being able to view these stacks within a single backstage component.
• organizations with complex infrastructure setups spanning multiple projects and stacks would find it more convenient to access their pulumi resources from a centralized location in backstage.

i believe this feature would greatly enhance the functionality and user experience of the pulumi-backstage-plugin, making it even more valuable for users leveraging pulumi within the backstage ecosystem.

please let me know if you have any questions or require further clarification.
