Datastore plugins add support for additional datastore backends.
### Tracer
(experimental)
Tracer plugins allow injecting an opentracing backend into go-ipfs.
### Daemon
Daemon plugins are started when the go-ipfs daemon is started and are given an
instance of the CoreAPI. This should make it possible to build an ipfs-based
application without IPC and without forking go-ipfs.
Note: We eventually plan to make go-ipfs usable as a library. However, this
plugin type is likely the best interim solution.
