What is the docs issue?

The example is a single directory of plugins, but it needs to follow the filesystem_mirror format described in https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/config/config-file#explicit-installation-method-configuration.

Note that manual plugin installation is a source of confusion (eg, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70413209/canonical-way-to-make-terraform-use-only-local-plugins) and incorrect docs are contributing to this problem.
