vlib: add cgo-friendly plugin registration support
Allows us to declare plugin registrations in a non-disgusting way: var plugin_reg = vpp.PluginRegistration{ Description: "The CGO plugin", Version: "My Version", Overrides: "sample_plugin.so", } It turns out that the specific compiler setup generates (.data section offset, length) pairs in the .vlib_plugin_r2 section: Contents of section .vlib_plugin_r2: 1ba9d0 00000000 00000000 50a81800 00000000 ........P....... 1ba9e0 0a000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ 1ba9f0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ 1baa00 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ 1baa10 00000000 00000000 70a81800 00000000 ........p....... 1baa20 0e000000 00000000 ........

This patch fabricates a plausible vlib_plugin_registration_t from the so-called vlib_plugin_r2_t.
