Description

It would be great to have settings option for plugins.

Use case: A travis-ci plugin to restart failed test cases right from the mail. (Which requires a Github access token). This token can be set/updated from the plugin settings.

This might be a gateway for new kind of plugins, which can make use of api's.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing plugin system architecture in the source code. Look for how plugins are loaded and configured. Identify where settings UI is rendered and how to add a settings pane. Examine existing plugin examples for patterns. Consider implementing a simple settings storage mechanism.
