Summary	353: Just one kind of addon
Description	Currently we have two kinds of addon definition built into Composr. All addons should have addon_registry hooks, and we should not have an addon_files.txt, or addon tables, or mod.inf files.
Additional Information	This was done in the previous 'v8' branch. A lot of useful refactoring was done in sources/addons.php that can be brought back.

However all the origin stuff for the addon definition will move into the core-style way of doing things, addon_registry hooks. That will be a whole lot neater and more consistent.
