Diogo Cordeiro 8c0601816f [CORE] Move core plugins to a new modules directory
For reference (raised by rozzin in IRC):

* http://foldoc.org/module
* http://foldoc.org/library
* http://foldoc.org/plugin

As noted by XRevan86, modules are not necessarily non-essential.
As we will keep the modules directory in GS root [therefore, near to
plugins/], it is evidenced the difference between both.

This is a simple yet fundamental structural change. It doesn't change
functionality but makes clearer the way we understand GNU social's
internals.

GNU social modules are like plugins but cannot be disabled. Having "mandatory plugins" allows to aggregate together, more logically, some of the core functionality, which makes it easier to find where a particular component was defined.
