Plugin-style asset backends about dcrdex HOT 2 CLOSED

Nah.

Plugins turned out to be a no-go on account of cgo as well as poor platform support (no openbsd and others).

I think the markets.json system has proven more than adequate to define the supported assets. New assets just need a rebuild and restart, which seems to be acceptable. If there turns out to be a need to have certain assets entirely omitted from the build, build tags are likely a better option. It works for eth via the lgpl tag.

uhm, @chappjc is this still a thing?

Closing since plugins turned out to be a no-go on account of cgo as well as poor platform support (no openbsd and others). We can revisit this in the future.
