Simplified the dependencies to:

- SourceCred core plugin system
- [Refactoring the load system](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/refactoring-the-load-system/629)
- [Unified reference detection](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/unified-reference-detection/301)

UniRef already depends on the underlying github/discourse detectors. And we no longer depend on the Discourse refactor to load Initiatives from (as we moved to file-based).
