Make Middleware System Extensible

[amansinghoriginal]

Overview of feature request

Problem Statement
Currently, to create a new middleware for Drasi, developers must add their code directly to the Drasi-core repository and compile the entire library. This tightly coupled approach has several drawbacks:

• It creates a high barrier to entry for community contributions
• It requires understanding the full Drasi codebase to add a simple middleware
• Each new middleware increases the maintenance burden of the core library
• Users cannot easily create private or specialized middleware for their specific use cases

Acceptance criteria

Implement a plugin architecture for Drasi middleware that allows developers to create and distribute middleware components independently of the core library.

The current thinking on this is that the user could provide dynamic link libraries that attach to extension points. This could be used for middleware and user defined functions for queries. The exact API for this still needs to be hashed out.
