The abstract base class for plugins.
Every plugin must be derived from this class. It provides some virtual functions which can be used to get information about the plugin. The get_type() function is used to be able to have different classes which are derived from mi::base::Plugin and provide different interfaces in addition to the interface defined by mi::base::Plugin.
