After this code change people can use `plugin.rpc` from anywhere in
their plugin code this is much nicer than going this way:
```
@plugin.method("init")
def init(options, configuration, plugin):
global rpc
basedir = plugin.lightning_dir
rpc_filename = plugin.rpc_filename
path = os.path.join(basedir, rpc_filename)
rpc = LightningRpc(path)
```
or similarly that way:
```
@plugin.method("init")
def init(options, configuration, plugin):
global rpc
basedir = configuration['lightning-dir']
rpc_filename = configuration['rpc-file']
path = os.path.join(basedir, rpc_filename)
rpc = LightningRpc(path)
```
Also the imports have been sorted alphabetically

If the `request` or `plugin` parameter that are injected by the
framework where before or inbetween positional arguments we'd be
injecting them incorrectly, i.e., we'd be providing them both as
`args` (and mismapping another argument) as well as `kwargs`.
This is a better way to map arguments, which takes advantage of the
fact that JSON-RPC calls are either all positional or named arguments.
I also included a test for various scenarios, that hopefull cover the
most common cases.

Just like we added the RPC methods, the notification handlers can also
be registered using a function decorator, and we auto-subscribe when
asked for a manifest.

It's flask inspired with the Plugin instance and decorators to add
methods to the plugin description.
