Description
It would be useful for Velocity to provide a method that allows determining which plugin is providing a certain class. This is helpful especially in debugging classpath conflicts.
The Bukkit API provides this functionality with JavaPlugin.getProvidingPlugin, though I of course trust the Velocity API to do better than a static method on JavaPlugin. A new method in PluginManager would do well for the Velocity API.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing PluginManager API and comparing the requested behavior with Bukkit's JavaPlugin.getProvidingPlugin reference. The change is complete when Velocity exposes a PluginManager method that determines which plugin provides a specified class, including behavior useful for diagnosing classpath conflicts.
