A bunch of small changes in preparation for release:

1. Finalized the initial `IEncoder` interface with a new
`GetPreferences()` method so external parties can configure encoder
operation.

2. Updated `IEnvironment` interface with a new `GetPreferences()` call
so plugins (e.g. encoders) can be configured by other plugins.

3. Fixed sort order in plugin list to be alphabetical.

4. Ensure the main app depends on the "stockencoders" plugin in the
Visual Studio solution.
