    libtracker-sparql: Added TRACKER_SPARQL_BACKEND environment variable
    
    - Added to the documentation so we know what values can be used and how
    - Added debugging so we know what backends are in use.
    - Fixed the plugin loader so we require the plugins before we call their Tracker.Sparql.Connection implementations (to avoid segfaulting)
