chore(3p/nix): Remove support for plugins r/1408
Plugins seem to not really be used anywhere (I can find one plugin that's actually defined, and it doesn't seem very useful, especially since we got rid of builtins.exec) and their presence is adding additional complexity and potential sources of bugs to an already unsteady refactor. At some point we may want to bring back something *like* plugins, but their design will likely be different and it will definitely be after we have a functioning Nix again.
