Refactor (and minor bug correction)

This is a huge refactoring of the tests and moving some non-plugin specific code to a separate library.

I also tried to make the plugin code actually use some better practices for bash programming - mostly signaled by shellcheck ignores.

While at it I also:

• disabled the dependency dashboard (closes #65)
• corrected a bash 4.3 compatibility issue (see #81)
