• New hook: InstallPlugin

  It is intended to be used to install an external plugin, like cucumber-ruby-wire.

  It is fired just after the AfterConfiguration one. Two parameters are given:
  the same configuration instance that is given to AfterConfiguration,
  and a registry_wrapper which allows
  plugins to have access to specific internal methods.

  See cucumber-ruby-wire for a
  usage example.

  More information about hooks can be found in
  features/docs/writing_support_code/hooks/README.md.
