Better Plugin Writing

Resolves #394

You can now write plugins from the Plugin Writer in BCV, or from disk. BCV will read the last edit dates on both and use the latest version.

As a bonus BCV will self-update the pane to keep the BCV plugin writer synced with your local file. Local files are also overwritten when the plugin writer is used to edit the plugin, then ran.
