Let -Xplugin specify a class path (or multiple of them).
Each entry can be a jar or dir, and the first entry to supply
a plugin descriptor defines the plugin to load.
If no plugin is found on the path, then issue a warning if `-Xdev`.
This honors the legacy silent treatment (which scala-ide tests for).
In the proposed scheme, each plugin gets a class loader so that
plugins are isolated from each other.
Presumably, if compiler plugins were a rich ecosystem, in which
shared dependencies were required in incompatible versions, this
would have become a requirement by now.
(Updated with a `DirectTest` that uses two plugins, but keeping
the following as documentation.)
Partest can't do multiple plugins yet, but this is what it looks like:
```
skalac -Xplugin:sample.jar:useful.jar:util,needful.jar:another.jar:util,needful.jar:util:exploded -Xplugin-require:sample,another,other foo.scala
skalac -Xplugin:sample.jar:useful.jar:util,needful.jar:another.jar:util,needful.jar:util:exploded -Xplugin-require:sample,other -Xplugin-disable:another foo.scala
skalac -Xplugin:sample.jar:useful.jar:util,sample.jar:useful.jar:util -Xplugin-require:sample foo.scala
```
The manual test shows three plugins with various permutations of jars and dirs.
The manual test demonstrates that plugins only see classes on their class path:
```
Initializing test.plugins.SamplePlugin
needful.Needful? Failure(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: needful.Needful)
useful.Useful? Success(class useful.Useful)
Initializing more.plugins.AnotherPlugin
needful.Needful? Success(class needful.Needful)
useful.Useful? Failure(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: useful.Useful)
Initializing other.plugins.OtherPlugin
```
Disabling a plugin results in a message instead of silent suppression:
```
Disabling plugin another
```
The duplicate plugin class test must still be honored:
```
Ignoring duplicate plugin sample (test.plugins.SamplePlugin)
Initializing test.plugins.SamplePlugin
needful.Needful? Failure(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: needful.Needful)
useful.Useful? Success(class useful.Useful)
```
If the path is bad, then missing classes will report which plugin induced
the error:
```
Error: class not found: util/Probe required by test.plugins.SamplePlugin
Error: class not found: util/Probe required by more.plugins.AnotherPlugin
Initializing other.plugins.OtherPlugin
needful.Needful? Success(class needful.Needful)
useful.Useful? Failure(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: useful.Useful)
error: Missing required plugin: sample
error: Missing required plugin: another
two errors found
```
