Reverted the Stone Web Viewer plugin to rev. 307a805d0587 (mistakenly changed to serve the RT Viewer and make it available in the Orthanc Explorer while it should have been done in a separate plugin)

/**
 * \mainpage
 *
 * This C/C++ SDK allows external developers to create plugins that
 * can be loaded into Orthanc to extend its functionality. Each
 * Orthanc plugin must expose 4 public functions with the following
 * signatures:
 * 
 * -# <tt>int32_t OrthancPluginInitialize(const OrthancPluginContext* context)</tt>:
 *    This function is invoked by Orthanc when it loads the plugin on startup.
 *    The plugin must:
 *    - Check its compatibility with the Orthanc version using
 *      ::OrthancPluginCheckVersion().
 *    - Store the context pointer so that it can use the plugin 
 *      services of Orthanc.
 *    - Register all its REST callbacks using ::OrthancPluginRegisterRestCallback().
 *    - Possibly register its callback for received DICOM instances using ::OrthancPluginRegisterOnStoredInstanceCallback().
 *    - Possibly register its callback for changes to the DICOM store using ::OrthancPluginRegisterOnChangeCallback().
 *    - Possibly register a custom storage area using ::OrthancPluginRegisterStorageArea().
 *    - Possibly register a custom database back-end area using OrthancPluginRegisterDatabaseBackendV2().
 *    - Possibly register a handler for C-Find SCP against DICOM worklists using OrthancPluginRegisterWorklistCallback().
 *    - Possibly register a custom decoder for DICOM images using OrthancPluginRegisterDecodeImageCallback().
 * -# <tt>void OrthancPluginFinalize()</tt>:
 *    This function is invoked by Orthanc during its shutdown. The plugin
 *    must free all its memory.
 * -# <tt>const char* OrthancPluginGetName()</tt>:
 *    The plugin must return a short string to identify itself.
 * -# <tt>const char* OrthancPluginGetVersion()</tt>:
 *    The plugin must return a string containing its version number.
 *
 * The name and the version of a plugin is only used to prevent it
 * from being loaded twice. Note that, in C++, it is mandatory to
 * declare these functions within an <tt>extern "C"</tt> section.
 * 
 * To ensure multi-threading safety, the various REST callbacks are
 * guaranteed to be executed in mutual exclusion since Orthanc
 * 0.8.5. If this feature is undesired (notably when developing
 * high-performance plugins handling simultaneous requests), use
 * ::OrthancPluginRegisterRestCallbackNoLock().
