Converting the evictor filter into a plugin will allow users to either replace the plugin with a different list of filters. Or, register additional plugins to extend the list of available filters. Also, new preEvictFilter extension point can be implement to provide strategies ability to protect pods against eviction right before the eviction itself. E.g. LowNodeUtilization plugin needs to operate over all pods to take into account the overall resource consumption. Thus, the only place where pods can be filter out from eviction is right after pods were marked for eviction.

The same process for creating a new plugin can be followed. Including creating plugin arguments (in the plugin package this time). The original NewEvictorFilter function will be then replaced with the plugin constructor with passing the plugin arguments.

Once the filter is converted into a plugin, it can be extended with namespace inclusion/exclusion arguments.
