Plugin adder dialog sucks #294

Plugin adder dialog sucks

We seriously need something better at least on Linux.

The idea:

1) Install all plugins in $PREFIX/lib/heekscad/ or $PREFIX/lib/heekscad/plugins
2) HeeksCAD loads every file from that directory at startup

Implementation:

Get a directory listing from there at startup with wxWidgets and then copypaste 
plugin loading code from Plugin.cpp.

I like the fact that adding HeeksCNC adds the related user interface goodies to 
HeeksCAD.  It would be really nice if adding other plugins worked like this.  

In other words, without actp.so installed, I wouldn't see the adaptive roughing 
operation as a possibility at all.  

As it stands, a user trying to use an operation without the associated module 
installed doesn't get any feedback unless they know to launch from a terminal 
window and look there.
