> devtool and reciptool search for pluings first in scripts/lib/<tool> and then in
> BBPATH.  Each found plugin is loaded, which means that any plugin found
> later in BBPATH shadows previously loaded plugins.
> plugin_init is loaded for all plugins, no matter whether they are later
> replaced.  register_plugin is called once for each time a plugin with a certain
> name is found, but it is always called on the last loaded plugin.
> 
> Change the scriptutils.load_plugins function to never load a plugin file if one
> with the same filename has already been loaded.  This means that the first
> found plugin wins.
> 
> Change the load order to first search BBPATH and then scripts/lib/tools.  This
> means that plugins in scripts/lib/<tool> can be shadowed by plugins in layers.
