Description

This module will generate a plugin, pack the payload into it
and upload it to a server running Piwik. Superuser Credentials are
required to run this module. This module does not work against Piwik 1
as there is no option to upload custom plugins. Piwik disabled
custom plugin uploads in version 3.0.3. From version 3.0.3 onwards you
have to enable custom plugin uploads via the config file.
Tested with Piwik 2.14.0, 2.16.0, 2.17.1 and 3.0.1.
