Multiple changes in the plugin build infra

- configure.ac - some plugins are enabled by default
- Plugin .so files are placed into corresponding subdirs
- WITH_PLUGIN_TOOLKIT macro is retired - not needed anymore
- plugins/build-data is removed
- plugin makefiles are not building static libs anymore
- plugin makefiles are not installing header files to /usr/include
  anymore
