Subject: [PATCH] feat:fallback_plugins

similar to WakeWords, allows defining a plugin to load if the primary fails

this is DIFFERENT from fallback TTS/STT, it isnt loaded at same time but instead when main plugin fails to load for any reason

companion to https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-plugin-manager/pull/263/
