Change the expected exported name of plugin declarations to be "plugin"
at the main entrypoint instead of the default export. This makes the
plugin's code organisation more flexible especially when using CommonJS
JavaScript modules as they can export additional symbols from the
plugin declaration file.
Refactor away the config group concept and simplyfy the way config
fields are defined. Fields are defined directly as properties of the
static field fieldDefinitions on the class itself with a separate
interface to declare the types of fields.
This makes it possible to easily make accessing the config fields type
checked in a way that lets plugins extend the interfaces with their own
config options by adding additional fields to the interface via
declation merging.
Refactor HostUpdatesEvent, InstanceDetailsUpdatesEvent, ModUpdatesEvent,
ModPackUpdatesEvent and UserUpdatesEvent to have multiple updates of the
entities they support in each event. This is intended to make the events
capable of syncing the entire list that they represent.
Add controller.autosave_interval config that specifies the frequency
which controller config, hosts, instances, users, mod packs and plugin
specific data which is held in memory should be automatically flushed to
disk if they have changed since the last time they were saved. This
prevents data loss in the event of a server crash.
Plugins can use the onSaveData hook to save its own data at the same
time as the controller does and this obsoletes making an autosave
interval in the plugin.
Resolves#523.
Move BaseControllerPlugin to controller/src/BaseControllerPlugin.ts
Move BaseInstancePlugin to host/src/BaseInstancePlugin.ts
Move BaseControlPlugin to ctl/src/BaseCtlPlugin.ts
Move BaseWebPlugin to web_ui/src/BaseWebPlugin.ts
This solves the circular package dependency problem of the base plugins
needing types that are available only in the dependencies to lib.
