Install Catala plugins

Fixes #378

- the plugins are compiled as libraries rather than with `executable`, so that
  dune is able to install them
- they get installed to `lib/catala/plugins/<plugin-name>/<plugin-name>.cmxs`
- the lookup for plugins is now recursive to cope with the plugin subdirectories
  in the point above
