Update the plugins page for the new process

This includes defining the process and providing a template for a new issue to
add new plugins. I did go through and audit `No IRC /WHO` so we had at least
one validated entry.

Testing Done:
Ran `npm run hugo:server` locally and verified the page worked and checked the new links.

### Description

If not using DNSSEC it is trivial to perform a man in the middle attack a
client via DNS spoofing. You can find more discussion in the
[XMPP Standards Archives](https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/2022-February/038759.html).

### Mitigation

Removed the code that supported the `_xmppconnect` DNS TXT record.
