Summary0000186: Rename Actions as Plugins
DescriptionActions are really plugins so it makes more sense to have them named that way. Inside the Actions (aka Plugins) directory we can have a "Core" directory which holds all the default plugins. We maintain a list of those in the main index.php or wacko class file. Then we have a either one directory for all 3rd party plugins or one directory for each plugin.

This will let us differentiate between Hacks n Patches and Plugins. The idea is that a plugin is simply something that requires one or more files in the Plugins directory. A "Hack/Patch" is something that requires modification of various system files such as the index.php or main wacko class.

This then leads to us implementing a plugin installation/removal system further down the road via the (yet to be created) admin interface.

Move items not related to the core of the wiki out of wacko.class.php (ie. Forms, Users, DB, Referrers, Comments, etc.). The core should only be for loading actions, handlers, formatters, etc. All of these items should be offloaded into autoloading plugins.

Actions (depend on the core) > Plugins / AddOns (self sustained)
