plugins: allow plugin arguments to be passed directly

Passing arguments to plugins had to be done through "arg=<argname>".
This is redundant and introduces confusion especially when the argument
has a name and value (e.g. `-plugin plugin_name,arg="argname=argvalue"`).

This allows passing plugin arguments directly e.g:

    `-plugin plugin_name,argname=argvalue`

For now, passing arguments through "arg=" is still supports but outputs
a deprecation warning.

Also, this commit makes boolean arguments passed to plugins in the
`argname=on|off` form instead of the deprecated short-boolean form.
