Add a mechanism for optimisation plugins to register passes that all front ends can use without needing to be aware of the plugin (or the plugin be aware of the front end).

Before 3.0, I'd like to add a mechanism for automatically loading a set of plugins from a config file.  API suggestions welcome...
