Let the update.py script handle the initial, repetitive task of
packaging new plugins. With this in place, the plugin only needs to be
added to the list in `update-plugins` and most of the work will be
done automatically when the script is run. Metadata still needs to be
filled in manually and some packages may of course require additional
work/patching.

Maybe bundix doesn't handle them properly? They cause runtime issues
and don't seem necessary when the binary gems are built from scratch
anyway.
