Add loading of components definitions inside Strapi plugin - pull request

Hi πŸ‘‹,
for people interested in creating their own plugins for @strapijs - I created the Pull Request on GitHub. πŸŽ‡
The PR is about allowing plugin creator to declare his own custom content type components inside plugin. This will open new doors for plugin creators.

In short:

What does it do?
I have added loading of components definitions from Strapi plugins. It allows loading components from plugin/server/components folder.
It allows components to be overwritten by local components, when editing in content-type manager.
It will prefix components categories defined inside the plugin with either plugin name or componentsPrefix (if defined in plugin package.json).

How to test it?
I have modified the examples/getstarted to make use of the components defined in plugin as well as added a content-type that makes full use of newly defined components.

I and @jaszczw will be actively supporting the PR. 🀞
We need the PR merged to complete one of our projects. πŸ’‘
