Start a separate documentation page for core plugins

Core plugins are described as part of the plugin config documentation.
The purpose of the plugin config documentation is to give an overview of
all plugins and which functionality they provide. Defining what core
plugins are doesn't really fit into this page. A separate documentation
page for core plugins makes sense since we intend to expand this
documentation. We want to define more clearly what a core plugin is,
what criteria a plugin must fulfill to become a core plugin and
processes around core plugins. All this newly planned documentation
around core plugins is surely out of scope for the plugin config
documentation, hence we want to have a new page for this.

= Gerrit Code Review - Core Plugins
[[definition]]
== What are core plugins?
Core plugins are plugins that are packaged within the Gerrit war file. This
means during the link:pgm-init.html[Gerrit initialization] they can be easily
installed without downloading any additional files.
To make working with core plugins easy, they are linked as
link:https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/+/refs/heads/master/.gitmodules[Git
submodules] in the `gerrit` repository. E.g. this means they can be easily
link:dev-readme.html#clone[cloned] together with Gerrit.
The core plugins are developed and maintained by the Gerrit maintainers
and the Gerrit community.
