Informs the plugin object it won't be used anymore.

This is called by the OpenViBE platform to inform the plugin object it is not usefull anymore. The plugin can chose whether to delete itself or to stay in memory until it decides is is ok to be deleted. However, the OpenViBE platform will not call any of the plugin functions after release is called.
