Plugin approach

See original GitHub issue

As Cookiecutter Django gets more and more features, it might be a good idea to pull some of these out into plugins.

This prevents bloat in the main project and makes life easier for the maintainers.

In order to make things easier to discover we could add a plugins.json file containing a curated list of plugins to use.

The prompt would then look something like this:

[snip]
use_docker [y]: n
install_plugins [n]: y
# this is where plugin.json kicks in and presents all available plugins
use_heroku [n]: y
use_compressor [n]: y
use_lets_encrypt [n]: n
use_pycharm [n]: y

@jayfk Love to! I’ve also got a project in the same state. This would be a great time to get the basic structure in for a flux (reconsidering that due to React Flux)/ mixin/ plugin. Maybe it should just be called Django-chips (like chocolate chips, but for cookiecutter-django)?

@jayfk I’m about done messing with my prototype and am about to start fresh with a new cookiecutter installation and need to add channels into a brand new project. Did you ever get started on this?
