puma--puma/docs/plugins.md

Few documentations fixes. [ci skip] [changelog skip] (#2619)
Sanitizing docs on few places. Ain't much. But, it's honest work :).

## Plugins
Puma 3.0 added support for plugins that can augment configuration and service
operations.
2 canonical plugins to look to aid in development of further plugins:
* [tmp\_restart](https://github.com/puma/puma/blob/master/lib/puma/plugin/tmp_restart.rb):
Restarts the server if the file `tmp/restart.txt` is touched
* [heroku](https://github.com/puma/puma-heroku/blob/master/lib/puma/plugin/heroku.rb):
Packages up the default configuration used by puma on Heroku (being sunset with the release of Puma 5.0)
Plugins are activated in a puma configuration file (such as `config/puma.rb'`)
by adding `plugin "name"`, such as `plugin "heroku"`.
Plugins are activated based simply on path requirements so, activating the
`heroku` plugin will simply be doing `require "puma/plugin/heroku"`. This
allows gems to provide multiple plugins (as well as unrelated gems to provide
puma plugins).
The `tmp_restart` plugin is bundled with puma, so it can always be used.
To use the `heroku` plugin, add `puma-heroku` to your Gemfile or install it.
### API
## Server-wide hooks
Plugins can use a couple of hooks at server level: `start` and `config`.
`start` runs when the server has started and allows the plugin to start other
functionality to augment puma.
`config` runs when the server is being configured and is passed a `Puma::DSL`
object that can be used to add additional configuration.
Any public methods in [`Puma::Plugin`](../lib/puma/plugin.rb) are the public API that any plugin may
use.
