Adding the ability to check for plugin updates

To do this will require a plugin that implements the web services on the community site and code in Elgg that hits those web services.

I created a github repository for the web services on this site: https://github.com/Elgg/community_web_services

I sketched out a basic API. Comments and suggestions welcome.

This is going to require creating a unique signature per plugin, unzipping the uploaded plugin archives, and some logic to check versions.
