Custmomize WWW::Mechanize via plugins

This module provides all of the same functionality of WWW::Mechanize, but adds support for plugins using Module::Pluggable; this means that any module named WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::whatever... will be found and loaded when WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable is loaded. Big deal, you say. Well, it becomes a big deal in conjunction with WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable's other feature: plugin hooks. When plugins are loaded, their import() methods can call WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable's prehook and posthook methods. These methods add callbacks to the plugin code in WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable's methods. These callbacks can act before a method or after it, and have to option of short-circuiting the call to the WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable method altogether. These methods receive whatever parameters the WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable methods received, plus a reference to the actvive Mech object. All other extensions to WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable are handled by the plugins.
