When a development version of trace-cmd is built and run on the machine,
by default it loads only installed plugins, from system drierctories.
Thus, the development plugins will not be loaded. To simplify the development
process, a new logic is added:
  At plugins load time, check the location of trace-cmd application and look
  for "plugins" directory around it. If found, load plugins from it. Those
  pluigins will be loaded last, so in case of duplication the "development"
  plugins win.

Hmm, this is in the lib/libtraceevent directory. We shouldn't be
referencing trace-cmd code here. We should have a way to override the
plugins from the trace-cmd side, perhaps after tep_load_plugins_hook()
gets called?

Also there's a few typos (which I originally fixed before seeing the
issue of trace-cmd code in libtraceevent).

I agree, we should move this check outside of the library.
I'll expose the functionality of load_plugins_dir() as a library API.
Thanks !
