install option for non-linux users

[whyrusleeping]

We have a way to build plugins directly into the go-ipfs binary, this would allow users of windows and macOS to use this code natively, but would require they recompile. It also requires a little bit of changes in this package. Notably, we need to separate the 'package main' plugin code from the rest of the plugin scaffolding. And would end up with the main plugin file looking like:

package main

import (
     "ipldethpluginimportpath"
)

var Plugins = ipldeth.Plugins

See https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/plugin/loader/preload_list and other code in that directory.

@whyrusleeping I did this executable to be able to build the plugin into the go-ipfs binary. It is mentioned in the plugin's README.

Adopting this option naively (moving the core of the plugin out of main package and providing separate main package) would allow much easier build of such plugin as pre-loaded plugin. It would be just changing a line in go-ipfs preload_list instead of having to rewrite files in this repo.

I see what you mean @Kubuxu.
