+Signal player that plugin has finished loading its dependencies and player can continue to loading and playing states.
+Use this when your plugin requires to load 3rd party dependencies which are required for the plugin operation.
+By default the base plugin returns a resolved plugin. 
+If you wish the player load and play (and middlewares interception) to wait for some async action (i.e loading a 3rd party library) you can override and return a Promise which is resolved when the plugin completes all async requirements.

 Now, lets take a look at the `registerPlugin` API.
