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.
