LOG: tools: Remove untested PluginLoader includes (#117644)

As far as I can tell there are 2 parallel plugin mechanisms.
opt -load=plugin does not work, and is ignored. opt -load-pass-plugin
does work. PluginLoader.h forces a static definition of the "load"
cl::opt into included TUs. Delete the cases with no tests.
