Bug 28026: Add call_recursive() as a supplement for call()

The method call() is not sufficient for all plugin hook types. It's
possible that more than one plugin will be installed that wants to
return the arguaments passed in an updated form.  These transformation
plugins need to work recursively rather than independantly.

This patch adss a `call_recursive()` method that takes the output of
the first plugin and uses it as the input for the next plugin and so
on. This allowes each plugin to see the current version of the arguament
list and modify it as necessary.
