Brief

We should add the following information to plugin descriptors:

• a human readable description
• plugin groups - in most cases it will represent the plugins "location" in the main menu
• what type of features does this plugin deliver  - one plugin can have many:
  
  • end-user - plugin contains functions that are clearly visible to the end-user in the GUI
  • external-integration - adds API and functions to integrate with external systems
    
    • in the descriptor we should also be able to tell which external system it integrates if the plugin is specyfic for one system.
  • internal-integration - see MDR-5 - Suggest to turn on internal integration plugins
  • dev-library - has services, entities and/or utils that should be reused by other plugins
  • plugin-pack - just aggregates some plugins with it's dependancies into a package
• licence
