Subject: Added session_end event and some docs.

For now, session_end is the same as disconnected, but once support is
added later for stream management, the two events will become distinct.

Plugins should add handlers for session_end for cleaning any session
state.

+    The base_plugin class serves as a base for user created plugins
+    that provide support for existing or experimental XEPS.
+
+    Each plugin has a dictionary for configuration options, as well
+    as a name and description.
+
+    The lifecycle of a plugin is:
+        1. The plugin is instantiated during registration.
+        2. Once the XML stream begins processing, the method
+           plugin_init() is called (if the plugin is configured
+           as enabled with {'enable': True}).
+        3. After all plugins have been initialized, the
+           method post_init() is called.
+
+    Recommended event handlers:
+        session_start -- Plugins which require the use of the current
+                         bound JID SHOULD wait for the session_start
+                         event to perform any initialization (or
+                         resetting). This is a transitive recommendation,
+                         plugins that use other plugins which use the
+                         bound JID should also wait for session_start
+                         before making such calls.
+        session_end   -- If the plugin keeps any per-session state,
+                         such as joined MUC rooms, such state SHOULD
+                         be cleared when the session_end event is raised.
+
+    Attributes:
+        xep          -- The XEP number the plugin implements, if any.
+        description  -- A short description of the plugin, typically
+                        the long name of the implemented XEP.
+        xmpp         -- The main SleekXMPP instance.
+        config       -- A dictionary of custom configuration values.
+                        The value 'enable' is special and controls
+                        whether or not the plugin is initialized
+                        after registration.
+        post_initted -- Executed after all plugins have been initialized
+                        to handle any cross-plugin interactions, such as
+                        registering service discovery items.
