Support for selecting which plugins to build
In order to cut the build time for unofficial builds, this change supports setting the environment variable "BUILD_FUEL_PLUGINS" prior to building. Only the plugin targets from fuel/build/f_isoroot/Makefile that are specified will then be built. In order to completely disable the building of plugins, the environment variable is set to " ". When using this functionality, the resulting iso file will be prepended with the prefix "unofficial-" to clearly indiciate that this is not a full build.

+Non official build: Selecting which plugins to build
+----------------------------------------------------
+In order to cut the build time for unofficial builds (made by an
+individual developer locally), the selection if which Fuel plugins to
+build (if any) can be done by environment variable
+"BUILD_FUEL_PLUGINS" prior to building.
