Create plugin architecture #1716

Research how a plugin can be added.

[ ] Create an example plugin that has a UI and provides some data to Trail Sense (two way)
[ ] Create a way to show the UI of a plugin (might just mean that Trail Sense can enable or disable a built in tool if the plugin is installed)
[ ] Create a way to communicate with a plugin (if services/broadcast receivers are used, create a implementation)

Questions

[ ] How can Trail Sense communicate with the plugin?
[ ] Can the plugin add UI to Trail Sense or does the UI need to be implemented in Trail Sense and call out to the plugin's service?
[ ] How can Trail Sense detect if the plugin is installed? (I previously experimented with app queries for this, back when offline maps was a "plugin" - though that acted as a launcher for a standalone app)
[ ] How do permissions work for plugins?
