Prototype for plugin accessor function.
Plugins are discovered by hosts using RDF data (not by loading libraries).
See http://lv2plug.in for details on the discovery process, though most
hosts should use an existing library to implement this functionality.
This is the simple plugin discovery API, suitable for most statically
defined plugins. Advanced plugins that need access to their bundle during
discovery can use lv2_lib_descriptor() instead. Plugin libraries MUST
include a function called "lv2_descriptor" or "lv2_lib_descriptor" with
C-style linkage, but SHOULD provide "lv2_descriptor" wherever possible.
When it is time to load a plugin (designated by its URI), the host loads the
plugin's library, gets the lv2_descriptor() function from it, and uses this
function to find the LV2_Descriptor for the desired plugin. Plugins are
accessed by index using values from 0 upwards. This function MUST return
NULL for out of range indices, so the host can enumerate plugins by
increasing `index` until NULL is returned.
Note that `index` has no meaning, hosts MUST NOT depend on it remaining

Prototype for library accessor function.
This is the more advanced discovery API, which allows plugin libraries to
access their bundles during discovery, which makes it possible for plugins to
be dynamically defined by files in their bundle. This API also has an
explicit cleanup function, removing any need for non-portable shared library
destructors. Simple plugins that do not require these features may use
lv2_descriptor() instead.
This is the entry point for a plugin library. Hosts load this symbol from
the library and call this function to obtain a library descriptor which can
be used to access all the contained plugins. The returned object must not
be destroyed (using LV2_Lib_Descriptor::cleanup()) until all plugins loaded
from that library have been destroyed.
