Bug 26163: Add plugin directories to PERL5LIB

It would be nice if we could create Koha objects and schema files to be
used in plugins. The problem is that by the time the Plugin directories
are added to @INC only at the point that Koha::Plugins is evaluated.
This is too late for loading additional Schema files that may be part of
a plugin.

In addition, it makes sense to allow plugins to have a 'lib' directory
so that any additional object and schema files can be stored inside the
plugin assets directory and not pollute the root plugins directory.
Without such a 'lib' directory, we would need to place them in the
plugins directory such as
'/var/lib/koha/instancename/plugins/Koha/MyObject.pm'.
This file would not be removed when the plugin is uninstalled.

Test Plan:
1) Apply this patch
2) Start koha-testing-docker or Update your plack.psgi file with the changes
from the patch ( e.g. /etc/koha/sites/kohadevbox/plack.psgi )
3) Install the curbside pickup plugin, 1.0.9:
  
https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-plugin-curbside-pickup/releases/tag/v1.0.9
4) Restart all the things!
5) Verify that the curbside pickup plugin's config and tools interfaces appear.
