Provide a way for a plugin to specify the types it provides without having to load the shared library

Description
Sometimes it's desirable for an application to know which extensions a plugin provides without having to already load the shared library or other type of module (python, seed). A 'Provides' field could be added to the plugin file with appropriate logic to look into this list first when the supported extensions are requested for a particular plugin.
