  Log Message:
  -----------
  Restrict preference access to plugins

@gfgtdf pointed out that preferences contain MP passwords. We can't allow
untrusted code to access them. Since we only need preference access from
plugins for now, the simplest way to avoid security issues is to block Lua
code outside of plugins from accessing preferences at all.
