While cleaning up some no-longer-necessary "plugin" code (see 8db7b782fc482956729130fb9b4e4ac5807d32da), I noticed that a single plugin file actually resides outside of **maqetta.core.client**, at davinci.joomla/WebContent/joomla.plugin. The only point of it is to add the menu item **Help->Community** when the app runs alongside Joomla.

Some questions:

1. Do we still need to support **joomla.plugin**?
2. Do we want to support any other such plugin file that lives outside of *maqetta.core.client*?
3. If so, how do we support such a thing?

I have some ideas for (3), but first want to figure out the answers to (1) and (2) before (potentially) wasting too much time on this.
