annotate base/ViewManagerBase.h @ 1376:d9511f9e04d7 dev/refactor-piper-related

Introduce some POD structs for describing an external server application and the desired libraries to load from it, and disambiguating between empty list request and invalid list request. This allows for overriding PiperVampPluginFactory behaviour for using a PluginScan to populate the list request.
