Michel Weststrate 489dd1521e Make sure Sandy Devices Plugins are loaded in Flipper devices
Summary:
This diff makes sure that devices will actually instantiate applicable sandy device plugins. Similar to how client plugins are owned by Client, device plugins are directly owned by BaseDevice, which significantly simplifies life cycle management and doesn't dispatch updates to all Redux connect components whenever something irrelevant changes.

Also made sure `device.teardown()` is called. That API already existed, but wasn't used or implemented before.

Updated Flipper test utils to support testing device plugins as well (both Sandy and classic ones)

flipper-plugin

flipper-plugin is the dependency used by all modern Flipper plugins (project "Tommy").

For background: https://fb.quip.com/YHOGAnaPqAVJ

flipper-plugin is to be used as dev and peer dependency of all Flipper plugins. It provides:

  1. (TODO) Standard API's to interact with Flipper, such as the client connection.
  2. (TODO) Standard components to organize the UI
  3. (TODO) Testing utilities

API's provided by flipper-plugin are documented at fbflipper.com (TODO).

There should normally be no need to install flipper-plugin as dependency. Rather, plugins should be scaffolded using npx flipper-pkg init (TODO) as documented here
