* Restructure and more generic plugin API (cli,backend,restconf,netconf)

* For preparation for authorization RFC8341
  * Plugins add clixon_plugin_init() and api struct for function pointers, eg:
```
static const struct clixon_plugin_api api = {
    "example",
    clixon_plugin_init,
    ...
}
clixon_plugin_api *clixon_plugin_init(clicon_handle h)
{
    return (void*)&api;
}
```
  * Moved specific plugin functions from apps/ to generic functions in lib/
    * New generic plugin load function: clixon_plugins_load()
  * Removed client-local netconf plugins netconf_plugin_callbacks()
    * This was code used before generic YANG rpc calls
  * Added username to clixon handle:
    * clicon_username_get() / clicon_username_set()
  * Added authentication plugin callback
  * Removed some obscure plugin code that seem not to be used (please report if needed!)
    * CLI parse hook
    * CLICON_FIND_PLUGIN
    * clicon_valcb()
* Removed username to rpc calls (added below)

### Minor changes:
* Removed username to rpc calls (added below)
* README.md extended with new yang, netconf, restconf, datastore, and auth sections.
* The key-value datastore is no longer supported. Use the default text datastore.
* Add username to rpc calls to prepare for authorization for backend:

* New CLICON_XML_SORT configuration option. Default is true. Disable by setting to false.
* Added yang ordered-by user. The default (ordered-by system) will now sort lists and leaf-lists alphabetically to increase search performance. Note that this may change outputs.
* If you need legacy order, either set CLICON_XML_SORT to false, or set that list to "ordered-by user".
* This replaces XML hash experimental code, ie xml_child_hash variables and all xml_hash_ functions have been removed.
* This replaces XML hash experimental code, ie xml_child_hash variables and all xmlv_hash_ functions have been removed.
* Implementation detail: Cached keys are stored in in yang Y_LIST nodes as cligen vector, see ys_populate_list()
* Datastore cache introduced: cache XML tree in memory for faster get access.
