Implement the plugins system

[Otaku17]

Description

Implement a plugin system for OnlineServer to allow developers to extend the server's functionality without modifying the core codebase.

Goals

• Automatically load plugins from a dedicated plugins/ directory.
• Provide a plugin lifecycle (load, enable, disable, unload).
• Expose a public API for interacting with the server (events, commands, packets, etc.).
• Allow plugins to register and unregister their own features.
• Support plugin dependencies and version checks.
• Prevent a failing plugin from crashing the entire server.
• Make future extensions and community contributions easier.

Example structure

plugins/
 ├── ExamplePlugin/
 │   ├── plugin.json
 │   └── index.ts

Example plugin.json:

{
  "name": "ExamplePlugin",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.ts",
  "author": "Pokemon Workshop"
}

Benefits

• Easier customization of OnlineServer.
• Better maintainability of the core project.
• Encourages third-party extensions and community-driven features.
