[Crash-catcher] Plugin settings GUI

[Jiri Moskovcak]

Hi,
I was thinking about how to make plugin settings more comfortable for 
users and I got an idea, that we can add a function to plugin api 
test_settings() which will test the settings (like login to bugzilla, 
upload some file to ftp server, etc ...) because now, the only way to 
figure, that settings are not working is to try to report a bug and wait 
for the result.
