#2842 Do not install plugins at all

Milestone: Trunk

Status: closed-accepted

This patch removes binary plugins (*.dll plugins) from the installer. And removes existing plugins too.

Plugins only case problems and we don't have time or resources to solve those problems. As an example, see the bug:
#2780673 Control + Z Causes Application to Crash
