Add the mvt.plugin import surface

mvt.plugin re-exports the names a plugin needs from MVT under one import
path. It holds the module base classes and Command, the alert and result
types, the database errors a module raises, the timestamp converters, the
plugin settings API, MVT's settings, get_plugin_logger() and MVT_VERSION.

The names it exports are kept working on a best-effort basis. Changes to
them are announced in the release notes. Anything else in mvt can still be
imported, and may change between releases without notice.

get_plugin_logger(__name__) returns a logger under mvt.ext for plugin code
outside a module class. Its records then reach the console and the
command.log file of a run. A file loaded with --load-module or
--load-command is named after the file.
