in the global var PLUGINS set in the environment variables
in the APP/plugins folder
On a clone site assuming an app folder exists is not realistic. Plus the app folder should be considered upgradable - easily upgrading to a later version by replacing all the contents.
For those reasons having a plugins folder in the web root may be preferable. This lookup will be automated and in addition to the existing ones, so no backwards compatibility problems should occur.
