Experimental interfaces

Below we expose a new pipeline._dataset and dlt._dataset interfaces that provide unified access to data loaded into destination. We also implement duckdb-based SQL client on a filesystem destination to access data in data lakes. We'll add documentation once we stabilize dataset interface. However already now you can benefit from new cursor implementation of sql_client that allows to take data frames, arrow tables also in batches:

• dataset factory by @sh-rp in #1945
• expose readable datasets as dataframes and arrow tables by @sh-rp in #1507

PRs below adds pluggy and a few first plugin hooks. The idea is to make a lot of functionalities in dlt pluggable. Currently you can plug new cli command (or upgrade existing) and you can also plug your own runtime environment (how dlt looks for data, secrets etc.)

• adds registries and plugins by @rudolfix in #1894
