All plugins: Update your plugins to enable parameter check by admin interface about plugins

[msinn]

The Issue title is a bit misleading. parameters are checked though lib.metadata and this is done even if self.get_parameter_value() is not used. The Admin Interface uses only the metadata from plugin.yaml to check entered config data.

The list above seems to reflect only, if get_parameter_value() is used in the plugin.

Almost nothing happens with this issue. In the last year from the to to list only two plugins have been modified, one was retired and one was deprecated.

I removed the 22 plugins that have been done and the 21 deprecated/retired plugins from the first post to make it more managable.

checked and modified some plugins in PR #857

As I can't test any of those plugins, please test them if you can - @maintainers?

[Morg42]

All listed plugins are checked and modified, please test.

addendum: i "migrated" all plugins to the SmartPlugin call syntax of init, tried to make them restartable, moved scheduler calls from sh to SmartPlugin, removed superfluous logging imports and cleaned up the code a bit (visually mostly, to (mostly) comply with PEP8 (e.g. for flake8).

As I do not own any of the devices, I can not really test the plugins short of "run up to unfinished init"...

If no one wants to test, we could just merge the PR and have it tested publicly... ;)

As the PR is merged, this seems to be done.
