Add a settings list to plugins page

This currently creates a **placeholder** widget that simply displays the setting value. I do have a local copy with proper widgets for most cases, but I need to go through and confirm that everything useful is covered (`GVariant` is very flexible, but I think settings are less so.)

Additionally, because of the way that settings are loaded from the devenv, we don't get the summary/description, so those won't load just yet. I've left those out of here for now so this only displays the key name. Once https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/2893 is complete, then we can put everything into a resource and the summary/description will work properly.

Testing Done:
Compiled only.

# Dependencies
GPlugin depends on the following at a bare minimum:
* glib-2.0 >= 2.40.0
* gobject-introspection, libgirepository1.0-dev
* meson >= 0.42.0
* gettext
* help2man
* a C compiler
A full build (enabled by default) depends on the following:
* gtk-4
* python3-dev, python-gi-dev, python3-gi
* libperl-dev, libglib-perl, libglib-object-introspection-perl
* liblua5.1-0-dev, lua-lgi
* valac
All of these packages and their development headers need to be installed
prior to building GPlugin.
# Building
GPlugin uses [meson](https://mesonbuild.com/) as its build system. As such
compiling is a little bit different than your typical `./configure`, `make`,
`sudo make install`.
Meson requires you to build in a separate directory than your source. As such,
these instructions use a separate build directory.
To compile you need to run the following commands:
```
meson build
cd build
ninja install
```
If you want/need to tweak the build system (to enable/disable certain loaders)
you can do so at any time by using `meson configure` in the build directory.
