Starts a global plugin running.
If the plugin was previously active then calling start will reset it to an active state and then
call its start method.
If the plugin has never been run before a new instance of it will be created within the Plugin Manager,
its active state set and then both of its init and start methods called, in that order.
If the plugin is already running under the given key then nothing happens.
