Maybe allow the admin to enable/disable cfgmgr plugins.
Or maybe even the loading (and unloading) of a specific plugin can be
automated, such as when a user of the plugin is started (or stopped). For
example if b10-auth starts, then the cfgmgr can be told that the
data_sources plugin is needed?
Currently the configurations are always available not matter if they
aren't needed; for example the DNS specific code is loaded even if running
a DHCP server only.
It is loaded at startup and plugins can't currently be unloaded. It just
looks in a directory and loads everything there. For example,
share/bind10-devel/config_plugins/ currently contains b10logging,
datasrc_config_plugin, and tsig_keys.
I don't know if it is possible to never load the b10logging plugin, but
the others could be skipped.
Also while here consider using a consistent naming scheme for these plugin
files. Even their corresponding spec files may have different base names.
