3883acc5c2 Add ns_plugin_expandpath()
Implement a helper function which, given an input string:

  - copies it verbatim if it contains at least one path separator,
  - prepends the named plugin installation directory to it otherwise.

This function will allow configuration parsing code to conveniently
determine the full path to a plugin module given either a path or a
filename.

While other, simpler ways exist for making sure filenames passed to
dlopen() cause the latter to look for shared objects in a specific
directory, they are very platform-specific.  Using full paths is thus
likely the most portable and reliable solution.

Also added unit tests for ns_plugin_expandpath() to ensure it behaves
as expected for absolute paths, relative paths, and filenames, for
various target buffer sizes.

(Note: plugins share a directory with named on Windows; there is no
default plugin path. Therefore the source path is copied to the
destination path with no modification.)
