Subject: [PATCH] Added `disable_monitor` flag to `RunnablePlugin`.

This is useful when users want to use a runnable plugin in a stateless
way. In some cases (for example systems with high latency or limited
quotas for API calls) the user may want to leverage the actions of a
plugin, but without running monitoring/polling logic nor generating
events.
