auto-update support for plugin results (#2680)

* support user-api to_dict/from_dict
* (optionally) live-updating plugin products
* support creating new instances of plugins, independent of tray
* move logic for assigning default viewer references from the app-method to the plugin itself, by searching the registry for a match
* create "new" convenience method on plugin
* allows for running results from a saved plugin state without altering the user-facing instance of the plugin
* expose auto_update_result switch in add_result user API
* basic test coverage case
* skip deprecated methods in to_dict to avoid warning
* snackbar message if auto-update fails
