Plugins for Lite XL

Note: if you make a pull request, the table should be updated and kept in alphabetical order. If your plugin is large (or you'd otherwise prefer it to have its own repo), the table can simply be updated to add a link to the repo; otherwise the plugin file itself can be submitted. If a plugin's link resolves to something other than a raw file it should be marked with an asterisk. If a plugin has modifications specific to Lite XL or is otherwise incompatible with the official version of lite, format the name in italic.
