/**
* @brief Helper class for implementing plugins
*
* This class can be inherited, so most of the abstract methods from Plugin interface get implemented.
* All details (description, name, title, author, ...) are defined in separate json file.
*
* Most of plugin implementations will use this class as a base, because it simplifies process
* of plugin development. Using this class you don't have to implement any of virtual methods
* from Plugin interface. It's enough to define meta information in the json file, like this:
* @code
* {
* "type": "ScriptingPlugin",
* "title": "My plugin",
* "description": "Does nothing. It's an example plugin.",
* "version": 10000
* "author": "sqlitestudio.pl"
* };
* @endcode
*
* and then just declare the class as SQLiteStudio plugin, pointing the json file you just created:
* @code
* class MyPlugin : public GenericPlugin, public ScriptingPlugin
* {
* Q_OBJECT
* SQLITESTUDIO_PLUGIN("myplugin.json")
*
* // rest of the class
* };
* @endcode
