Added Plugin support (#102)

* Build refactoring and initial plugin support

* Possibly fixed linux / mac build

* Added libdl to libglad build script

* Add glfw to imgui dependencies

* Refactored common functionality into "libimhex" for plugins

* Added plugin loading and example plugin

* Added proper API for creating a custom view and a custom tools entry with plugins
