Allow plugins.checkFrequency = 0 to disable scanner
Production systems might not want to scan for plugins, and instead
rely on system administrators to invoke `gerrit plugin reload` or
`gerrit plugin install` to make explicit plugin changes. Disable the
background scanning thread when the check frequency is set to 0 or any
negative value.
