Top-level plugins block in pipeline.yml

Currently plugins need to be applied to each step, which ends up being verbose and it's easy for them to get out of synch as changes are made.

I'm proposing a top level plugin block that would allow plugins to be declared that would then apply to all steps.

This would aim to solve the current pain points:

• Version declarations need to be repeated
