Implement support for more platforms (specially in dynlink)

[viferga]

🚀 Feature

The idea of this is to provide support for multiple platforms for dynamic linking libraries (i.e extend the platforms where the plugin system will work). The current platforms implemented at this moment are:

• Windows (LoadLibrary)
• Linux / Unix (dlopen)
• MacOs (NSCreateObjectFileImageFromFile)
• BeOs (load_add_on)

Other platforms that can be implemented are:

• HP-UX (shl_load)
• GNU DLD (emulates dynamic linking for static libraries)
• Mac OS X Fallback (dyld)
• vxWorks (loadModule)

Some of the reference to this can be obtained from here:

• HP-UX, GNU DLD, Mac OS X Fallback: https://github.com/autotools-mirror/libtool/tree/master/libltdl
• vxWorks: https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/require/blob/master/require.c

Other parts of the code base should also be reviewed in order to support multiple platforms.
