Using std::string_view over std::string (and const std::string&) has the advantage that we skip potential temporary std::string objects that are immediately thrown away, thus slowing down the code. It can also be implicitly cast to std::string, which makes it compatible with existing code that uses std::string.
This header includes all common data between headers used in the plugin. This should improve cross-platform compiling support whenever possible, as all platform-dependent common includes and defines can be done here.
