Development Walkthrough: Hello-Plugin

For those who want to walk before they run, this (very) simple plugin will show the process of creating, configuring and running a plugin

The Goal
Over the next few pages, each of the pages' concepts will be illustrated with a simple example plugin hello-plugin. 
What the hello-plugin plugin will allow is calling the endpoint GET /plugins/hello-exchange/info and receive the following response: 
{
    public_message: 'Hello Plugin!',
    private_message: 'Hello Plugin...',
    library_message: 'Hello Plugin NPM',
    moment_timestamp: <ISO_STRING>
    exchange_info: {...}
}
The elements of this output come from the following sources:
public_message: A value set in public_meta.
private_message: A value set in meta
library_message: The string produced by our third-party npm library.
moment_timestamp: Date ISO string produced by a default library (moment).
exchange_info: The exchange's basic information.
We will also be adding a new page to our exchange web_view that displays our custom client-side interface for hello-plugin.
In the next sections, we go through all the components in the plugin and gradually develop each component for our hello-exchange plugin step by step.
