[Qgis-developer] Featured plugins

[DelazJ]

Table Manager helps renaming, reordering fields (not yet available) and
while removing/deleting/reordering fields, you can preview how your table
will look like.
I'm neither for enabling plugins by default but adding in Core such _basic_
features users look for will be an improvement
