[plugins] Introduce plugins as python-packages

Browse Source 
Rally supports plugins for everything. You can write plugin for
scenario, context, runner, sla, reports and so on.
Current implementation is designed via python module. To make Rally
find those plugins, you need to specify the path for them. It is ok,
but has places for improvement:

1) providing the path to plugin eche time you launch Rally or configure
   it via Rally config. This is a place which rally plugins as pything
   packages can improve. Rally plugins can be easily auto-discovered by
   the right entry-point. No redundant pathes anymore
2) managing dependency. Python module doesn't have dependencies, package
   has. It means that delivering rally plugins via python package allows
   you to manage your dependencies separately from Rally. Also it allows
   to specify rally releases for which it was designed.
