Currently, PluginInterface provides an issubclass() hook that returns
True for issubclass(A, B) call, if all abstract methods of B (stored
in B.__abstractmethods__) can be found in the A.__mro__ tuple of
classes. But there is an edge case, when B doesn't have any abstract
methods, which leads to issubclass(A, B) call returning True even if
A and B are not related all.
E.g. issubclass(NeutronPluginPLUMgridV2, NsxPlugin) returns True,
while these two are different core plugins. And it gets even more
trickier when superclasses are involved: e.g. SecurityGroupDbMixin is
a superclass of NsxPlugin, so depending on the fact whether the
python module with NsxPlugin class is imported or not,
issubclass(NeutronPluginPLUMgridV2, SecurityGroupDbMixin) will return
either False or True accordingly.
