Developer guidelines

Let's collect guidelines for developers, so that the code structure becomes more clear and stays consistant.

• Default values in plugins: they can be defined in ::defaultConfiguration() which will pre-set the fields in the UI. But since the user could remove those values, it still may be possible that the ::access and ::execute methods could find empty values, eventhough the default already had a value in them. Therefore, configuration values need to be checked in all use cases and set to default if expectation isn't met.
