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.
