Add support for custom plugins #58

Description

The unique feature of Validator is its report system. The idea is to add an open interface for other scripts, similar to what we have for localization packs. Those scripts could be tiny, without any user interface (just like localization packs are). Validator will trigger those scripts for each segment/place, scripts will check the segments/places and report back issues.

The example user workflow:

  1. Install Validator.
  2. Install few custom plugins.
  3. Use Validator as usual.
  4. Validator will show all plugin's reports and report them to user.

Long term benefits:

  1. This will make Validator much smaller by extracting all the current checks as plugins.
  2. This will make a bridge between Validator and other (existing) scripts, so we don't need to reimplement existing checks.
  3. Hopefully, other script writers will be more interested in contributing to Validator or its plugins, because at the moment other script writers might treat Validator as a competitor.
