How to store plugins?

• We need to make Capture configurable with a config file to define plugins.
• Capture configuration file #81

Plugin Configuration

# YAML
plugins:
  - name: my_custom_plugin
    location: "./plugins/my_custom_plugin"

// JSON
{
    "plugins": [
        {
            "name": "my_custom_plugin",
            "location": "./plugins/my_custom_plugin"
        }
    ]
}
