Provides an interface for plugins to register/unregister cloth solver classes with Maya.
Whenever a new solver needs to be generated, it checks the classification string of the node for the preferred solver.
If a match is found, it creates and manages the solver object (that is it deletes the solver object once the solver
is removed from scene).
