Summary0010005: .pv-plugin-config (or something similar) to tell ParaView the list of distributed plugins
DescriptionIn line with .qt-config which tells Qt the plugins to load, we should have a .pvpluginconfig that is placed next the paraview executable that lists the distributed plugins (identified by names, not paths) and their default auto-load status (loaded/not-loaded). Of course, the user can override this auto-load status from the GUI.

When the client connects to a server, the client pushes its .pvpluginconfig list to the server. The server tries to find those plugins by name in some standard locations:
* some environment variable
* ${HOME}/.config/ParaView/plugins
* /etc/share/config/ParaView
etc.

Added a .plugins file right next to the ParaView binary (on mac installed bundles it's searched in the ParaView.app/Support).
Right now, skipping the option to search for this file from different locations until there's a need for this. It's currently only meant to be used for distributed plugins.
