Upgrading plugin capabilities in MadGraphControl

Zach Marshall requested to merge zmarshal/athena:MGC_plugin_update into master

MadGraph5_aMC@NLO allows the use of plugins that can be enabled by a command-line flag. Much to my chagrin, some of them must be enabled on the command line, and cannot be applied at run time. This enables new functionality to apply a plugin of the user's choice as a part of the command-line start up of mg5_amc.

At the same time, removing the old CVMFS plugin that we were hard-coding. This should no longer be needed because of the more complex shutils patch that we have gone for here.

Combined with a patch to MadGraph itself and a new deployment of MadGraphModels, this should be all that's needed for plugins in master. I'll go back and create an equivalent patch for 21.6 shortly.
