Make routes work magically

Adds a Rails.plugin_routes array into which plugins can push a symbol.
Rails' routing will call map.from_plugin on any symbols found here.
This way we can drop in plugins without modifying the core app.

    This is really interesting. Do you think it’s worth extracting for general use? Perhaps alongside some kind of map.all_plugin_routes method?

    Yes.. actually I think it should work with more of a Rails.plugin_routes do |map| style, rather than just hardcoding map.resources. I’m trying to do something like this for models also, but so far it’s eluded me.
