plugins: require registration function SCPluginRegister

Instead of looking for a symbol, "PluginSpec" look for a function
named SCPluginRegister that returns a SCPlugin.

This makes it much easier to create Rust plugins without having
to deal with dlopen constructors and such, which is rather
straight forward in C, but a bit of advanced boilerplate in Rust
that can be eliminated by simply calling a registration function.
