Currently, sidechain plugin is set as required.
It means that when we build witness_node we had also built sidechain plugins and all other dependencies.
Explore how to set this plugin as optional one.

A motivation for this is that, if building the side-chain plugin were optional, then, if I understand correctly, the libBitcoin dependency could be removed for MOST users.

The libBitcoin library is called only from code in the side-chain plugin.
The sidechain library is needed only by SON operators, and not by general users using the SON functionality. Thus the user base that actually needs the side-chain plugin is quite small.
