As part of making graphdrivers support pluginv2, a PluginGetter
interface was necessary for cleaner separation and avoiding import
cycles.
This commit creates a PluginGetter interface and makes pluginStore
implement it. Then the pluginStore object is created in the daemon
(rather than by the plugin manager) and passed to plugin init as
well as to the different subsystems (eg. graphdrivers, volumedrivers).
A side effect of this change was that some code was moved out of
experimental. This is good, since plugin support will be stable soon.

pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Docker project without being specific to its internals.
Utility packages are kept separate from the docker core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible.
If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the
Docker organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority.
The directory pkg is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core
Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!
Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good
place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!
