add get_security_file() function to utils.path This makes it easier for third party tools to retrieve security files (e.g. json connection files) by name and [optional] profile name alone, without knowledge of IPython's directory structure. For example, whenever ipkernel outputs: ` --existing kernel-12345.json --profile foo` that file can be found with: get_security_file('kernel-12345.json', profile='foo')

===============
IPython plugins
===============
IPython has a plugin mechanism that allows users to create new and custom
runtime components for IPython. Plugins are different from extensions:
* Extensions are used to load plugins.
* Extensions are a more advanced configuration system that gives you access
to the running IPython instance.
* Plugins add entirely new capabilities to IPython.
* Plugins are traited and configurable.
At this point, our plugin system is brand new and the documentation is
minimal. If you are interested in creating a new plugin, see the following
files:
* :file:`IPython/extensions/parallemagic.py`
* :file:`IPython/extensions/pretty.`
As well as our documentation on the configuration system and extensions.
