T8529: Announce enbaled plugins to remote device

[Andy Holmes]

  Sorry, this was mostly a RFC on my part so I'll try to clear it up:
  
  Currently devices offer a "static" list of supported capabilities via the identity packet; outgoingCapabilities and incomingCapabilities. These will only report what packets a device can *possibly* handle though, not what it *will* handle if you send a packet.
  
  If an additional pair, say outgoingEnabled/incomingEnabled, were sent or requestable then either auto-plugin loading could be possible or even a notice such as: "/!\ The remote device does not have this plugin enabled".
  
  I'm not sure whether "auto-plugin" loading is a good idea or security risk, but I thought I'd get some thoughts on this idea in general. Perhaps there are other use cases as well.
