zebra: Add a sample dataplane plugin module

Add a dataplane plugin module as a sample or reference for
folks who might like to integrate with the zebra dataplane
subsystem. This isn't part of the FRR build or product; there
are some simple build and load-at-runtime instructions in
comments in the file.
