Description

Instead of blowing up the driver plugin architecture issue more, I figured I would create a separate issue. A lot of the plugins have a cut and paste of the same header files. I say we create a single shared include folder. There needs to be some thought into which projects will share what considering we have three subsystems here: STrace driver, plugins, CLI. This is a lot easier now that plugins live in drivers and we don't need a complex interface anymore.

Research direction

Start by locating the duplicated header files across the STrace driver, plugins, and CLI subsystems, then compare which declarations each project uses. Define the shared include folder boundaries and finish when the repeated headers are consolidated without breaking any of the three subsystems.
