Public API for Registered Plugins

[arb]

Can we add a method to return all of the registered plugins on a connection? The use case is to provide a comprehensive data point about everything going on inside a hapi server, including registered plugins. Currently, I'm using connection._registrations which is obviously not a good, long term solution.

I agree that this would be worthwhile. Even a simple list of registered plugin names and versions could be hugely useful.

The problem is, we don't really know what's going on...

There are two types of plugins, those that change the server only and those that change the connections (and maybe the server). If you load the server-only first, then add a connection, the list will be missing the registration but it will be there. We need the plugin to tell hapi what it is doing for a better outcome. I am working on this elsewhere.

So _registrations will not contain those "server-only first" plugin registrations, correct?

It will now with the new connections flag.
