When performing a debug build, the "deadlock plugin" will be included
in the build, which uses the thread functionality of the std. However,
during compiling there would be an error about a symbol in thread.hpp
not being found (_beginthreadex). As it turns out, this was due to us
having a header file called Process.h, which would shadow the windows-
specific header file defining the mentioned symbol.
Therefore, in this commit we rename the Process base class to
AbstractProcess and rename the files accordingly, fixing that error.

Instead of excluding all plugins but the link one on OSes other than
Windows and Linux, the new approach allows for a more granular control
by introducing a list of plugins that is supported on the different
platforms.
This replaces the globbing approach which means that new plugins have
now to be included in this list explicitly.
The advantage of this is that this allows for a much greater flexibility
for handling plugins on different OS.
Furthermore the plugin's own directory is no longer added to the
include-path by default. If a plugin wishes to do this, it should do so
explicitly. This should help make the plugins easier to move around in
the future.
This commit introduces a new plugin framework into the codebase of the
Mumble client. Note that "plugin" here really refers to a (more or less)
general purpose plugin and is therefore not to be confused with the
previously available positional data plugins (only responsible for
fetching positional data from a running game and passing that to
Mumble).
The plugin interface is written in C, removing the compiler-dependence
the old "plugins" had. Instead plugins can now be written in an
arbitrary language as long as that language is capable of being compiled
into a shared library and also being capable of being C-compatible.
As already indicated a plugin is essentially a shared library that
provides certain functions that allow Mumble to interface with it.
Inside Mumble the so-called PluginManager is responsible for managing
the plugins and relaying events to the respective callbacks. Plugins
themselves can also interact with Mumble on their own initiative by
using the provided API functions.

This reverts commit e9c558ffdb, reversing
changes made to ca2fd07b90.
This is a quick-fix for crashing PA plugins. The intended change is
still useful and planned to land later.
