* Add ability for plugins to declare additional permissions with a custom plugin-security.policy file and corresponding AccessController logic. See the plugin author's guide for more information.
* Add warning messages to users for extra plugin permissions in bin/plugin.
* When bin/plugin is run interactively (stdin is a controlling terminal and -b/--batch not supplied), require user confirmation.
* Improve unit test and IDE support for plugins with additional permissions by exposing plugin's metadata as a maven test resource.

Add documentation and pluginmanager support
commit 05dad86c51488ba43ccbd749f0164f3fbd3aee62

Decentralize plugin permissions (modulo docs and pluginmanager work)
The setting `plugin.types` is currently used to load plugins from the
classpath. This is necessary in tests, as well as the transport client.
This change removes the setting, and replaces it with the ability to
directly add plugins when building a transport client, as well as
infrastructure in the integration tests to specify which plugin classes
should be loaded on each node.
* Centralised plugin docs in docs/plugins/
* Moved integrations into same docs
* Moved community clients into the clients section of the docs
* Removed docs/community
