plugins: Allow multiple types in description
Allow plugins to declare their type, for the purpose of inserting a description in the UI. The type consist of one or more bit ORed flags. This fixes the 'stats_tree' plugin description in the UI. The plugin is not a dissector type plugin, as was being displayed before. Now it correctly shows "tap listener" plugin.
