[Bug 1196781] [NEW] Make it possible to set plugin configuration params from config.php

 

Public bug reported:

For the elasticsearch plugin, there are a couple of config parameters
which I would feel more secure putting into config.php, so they can't be
altered by someone who steals an admin's session.

Thing is, currently config.php only lets you do settings for the main
$CFG, not for plugin configs. So, here's some code to change that.
