We should store plugin metadata in the database for easy retrieval. 

Koha::Plugins::Base::get_metadata should check the database for its own
metadata. If it doesn't find anything in the database, it should check itself
for a $metadata global as it does now, but if one does not exist, it should
then check for a companion PLUGIN.yml file ( from Bug 24631 ) in the
bundle_path() and load the metadata from there.

In either case it should then be stored in the database.

InstallPlugins() should force the plugins metadata to be updated from source to
the database, as the plugin metadata may ( and should ) have changed in the
updated plugin.
