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.

This patch introduces a new experimental engine-level plugin management
with a new API and command line. Plugins can be distributed via a Docker
registry, and their lifecycle is managed by the engine.
This makes plugins a first-class construct.
For more background, have a look at issue #20363.
Documentation is in a separate commit. If you want to understand how the
new plugin system works, you can start by reading the documentation.
Note: backwards compatibility with existing plugins is maintained,
albeit they won't benefit from the advantages of the new system.
