Tibor Vass f37117045c plugins: experimental support for new plugin management
This patch introduces a new experimental engine-level plugin management
with a new API and command line. Plugins can be distributed via a Docker
registry, and their lifecycle is managed by the engine.
This makes plugins a first-class construct.

For more background, have a look at issue #20363.

Documentation is in a separate commit. If you want to understand how the
new plugin system works, you can start by reading the documentation.

Note: backwards compatibility with existing plugins is maintained,
albeit they won't benefit from the advantages of the new system.
