Minimal plugin system

[ramboz]

Use case

As a developer, I'd like to have a minimal plugin system so that I can organize common features into individual opt-in plugins that I can re-use across projects, so that my scripts.js is easier to maintain, my code more portable and re-usable, and so that I only load what is really needed for my use case.

In particular, I'd like to:

• have a simple instrumentation of my scripts.js for the plugins I use
• have the capability to pass down configuration settings to the plugin to tailor it for my project
• be able to define various "hooks" in my plugin so it automatically runs in the eager/lazy/delayed phases
• be able to reference another plugin from my plugin so I can re-use features
