Description

The whole aspect of applying bindings via plugin with the revised plugin system is a little sketchy/inconsistent.

• Bindings should always be assigned to global scope because engine scope is always overriden with local bindings.
• Bindings assigned by HadoopGremlinPlugin don't seem to want to appear in Gremlin Server.
• There needs to be some form of mock GremlinScriptEngine that can be used to test plugins without having to depend on an actual implementation
