Title: Fixes issue #7: Updating plugin could remove user's own widget templates

Before:
Widget templates loaded in the plugin's main file 'wp-core-contributions-widget.php' were specified manually. If someone specified a new widget template file in that main file & then upgraded the plugin, then their own template would be "lost" until they re-edit the main file again.

After:
We loop though all files in the /lib/ folder named 'class.*.php' and load them automatically

Results:
No need to modify 'wp-core-contributions-widget.php,' just name the new template files like 'class.*.php'
