Maru Newby 51bcc61996 Ensure core plugin deallocation after every test ...

The unit tests were previously consuming an excessive amount of memory
(4GB+) due to plugin instances persisting in memory.  Deallocation was
not possible where a combination of circular references and mocking
was involved.  This patch ensures that only NeutronManager holds a
plugin reference and that all other references are instances of
weakref.proxy.  Residual memory footprint for tox executed on a
12-core machine has been reduced to ~1.3GB.  Plugin deallocation is
validated at the end of each test to prevent regressions.

This change also includes fixes to unit tests that depended on plugin
instances persisting across tests.
