Post [plugin] AirPlane Mode

Hey there! I've put together a little plugin to mimic airplane mode in koreader. I rarely take koreader out of the house, but when I do it's a mad button dash to remember what all needs to be disabled so koreader doesn't lock up trying to reconnect to my home network. I tried to use the profiles plugin, but the use case didn't quite fit what profiles was designed for.

What It Does

Enabling AirPlane mode turns off wifi, sets all of the default wifi settings to their most conservative options (off, prompt, etc.), and disables plugins that use networking. There is a default list of plugins included by default, but there is also a menu that will let you browse all active plugins and mark them so they will disable while AirPlane is active. When you disable, network settings and plugin management should return to the previous, pre-AirPlane state.

Repository, tarball, and zip with the initial alpha can be found here: https://github.com/kodermike/airplanemode.koplugin

Tested with:
* the koreader emulator (of course)
* Kobo Clara
* Kobo Clara2E
* Kobo Forma
* Kobo Libra Color
* Kindle PW 2

I know it's a kobo heavy list, but it's what I had on hand while testing.
