[jbosstools-dev] Hooking up Fuse Tools and SwitchYard with usage tracking

[Nick Boldt]

I have digested Max's comments here into the doc:

https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-devdoc/blob/master/api/usage/usage_api.adoc#enabling-usage-tracking-in-your-plugin

Feel free to contribute fixes to that doc if you encounter more stuff
you feel needs to be there.
