This ensures that:
- The in-memory plugin store is populated with all the plugins
- Plugins which were active before daemon restart are active after.
This utilizes the liverestore feature when available, otherwise it
manually starts the plugin.

(cherry picked from commit dfd91873056c172ffc061d882da0cd18204b521a)
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.
