break the version link between gate-core and annie #105

We want to break the link between the version of ANNIE (and OpenNLP) and gate-core as it's a lot of work to change the version of ANNIE when we release gate-core (due to the way it trickles down into other plugins) and sometimes the only change is the version number.

The problem with breaking this link is that in the GUI the menu items and buttons for loading ANNIE (and OpenNLP) assume that the apps can be found in a plugin with the same version number as gate-core.

plan for this is to see if the plugin is already loaded and then load the app from within it (if multiple versions of the plugin are loaded use the first one). If the plugin isn't loaded then get the version from the list of recommended plugins and use that. If we still can't find a version at this point, display a message asking the user to load a given ANNIE to use.
