ReportEntryPlugin

```
@ProviderType
public interface ReportEntryPlugin<T>
```
This plugin extracts a piece of information (potentially localized) from a source object and converts it into a DTO representation.
The ReportGeneratorService will select a collection of those plugins and apply them on a source object. Each result will be put into a Map under the corresponding ENTRY_NAME_PROPERTY property value. This final Map will constitute a report of the source object. Plugins will be selected thanks to their SOURCE_CLASS_PROPERTY and optionally by any provided properties.
Implementers: Implementers must define the ENTRY_NAME_PROPERTY and the SOURCE_CLASS_PROPERTY
