Add support for plugin previews

Description

The plugin framework needs a way to provide a preview in response to input dialog changes, before OK is pressed. We should create a new interface called PreviewPlugin that includes a new method, preview(), which is automatically called when dialog widgets change.

In this way, many "naive" preview implementations can have preview() delegate to run(), but it will also be possible to customize the behavior of preview() compared to run().

As of 9adfe9d21522060645e4ab576b0983a9b5297e02, the preview feature also provides a cancel() method for undoing the effects of a preview.
