modulemanager: Add plugin load filter that reads module metadata from source Metadata in modules is added using lines formatted as: --% key: value Where key is a valid identifier string, and value is also a string (leading and trailing whitespace are trimmed during parsing). The initial supported keys are: --% requires_core_features: feature1, feature2, ... --% conflicts_core_features: feature1, feature2. ... These 'features' map to features reported by the new core.features module. A benefit of this load-time metadata approach compared to e.g. something like module:requires()/module:conflicts() is that we can continue to look in module search paths for a suitable module. Aborting an already-loaded module due to a version conflict would be too late.
