Split plugin loading into two different phases to support entitlements (#116998)

This change loads all the modules and creates the module layers for plugins prior to entitlement 
checking during the 2nd phase of bootstrap initialization. This will allow us to know what modules exist 
for both validation and checking prior to actually loading any plugin classes (in a follow up change).

There are now two classes:

    PluginsLoader which does the module loading and layer creation
    PluginsService which uses a PluginsLoader to create the main plugin classes and start the plugins
