5c55657c54 Plugin Interface Refactor
This makes two main changes to the plugin system:

* Instead of assuming that each plugin will have exactly one type,
  inspect each plugin to see which interfaces it provides, and
  register it as a provider of each provided interface. This can
  allow a single .so file to provide multiple interfaces, which
  will likely be necessary for aggregating certain types of info.
* Rather than using dependency injection and having to propagate
  the plugin system all throughout Geth, have a default plugin
  loader so we need only import the module and make calls to it.
  If the plan were to integrate this into mainline Geth, I would
  say we use dependency injection and take the time to pass the
  plugin loader throughout the codebase, but as I expect this to
  be a fork that has to pull upstream changes, this approach
  should make merge conflicts much less common.
