Add ability to fork plugin directly from lsmcli #496

When developing a new plugin it's helpful to not require the daemon to be running. Add a hidden argument --fork_plugin that when specified allows the command line to exec. the plugin directly. Historically python plugins were easier to develop as you can execute a python plugin directly from the command line. With this functionality it allows plugin developers an easier time developing in other languages too.
