Allow plugins to express dependency info

Add a no-op function, "plugin_requires" to allow plugins to indicate
their dependencies on each other.  This will be used by the Devstack
Ansible module when writing local.conf files.

Also add define_plugin to allow plugins to indicate their canonical
names.

The file should include a ``define_plugin`` line to indicate the
plugin's name, which is the name that should be used by users on
"enable_plugin" lines. It should generally be the last component of
the git repo path (e.g., if the plugin's repo is
openstack/devstack-foo, then the name here should be "foo") ::
define_plugin <YOUR PLUGIN>
If your plugin depends on another plugin, indicate it in this file
with one or more lines like the following::
plugin_requires <YOUR PLUGIN> <OTHER PLUGIN>
For a complete example, if the plugin "foo" depends on "bar", the
``settings`` file should include::
define_plugin foo
plugin_requires foo bar
Devstack does not currently use this dependency information, so it's
important that users continue to add enable_plugin lines in the
correct order in ``local.conf``, however adding this information
allows other tools to consider dependency information when
automatically generating ``local.conf`` files.
- ``plugin.sh`` - the actual plugin. It is executed by devstack at
well defined points during a ``stack.sh`` run. The plugin.sh
internal structure is discussed below.
