to make plugins easier to develop and use:
* Plugins are now loaded as namespace packages.
* Plugins can be loaded in any distribution of yt-dlp (binary, pip, source, etc.).
* Plugin packages can be installed and managed via pip, or dropped into any of the documented locations.
* Users do not need to edit any code files to install plugins.
* Backwards-compatible with previous plugin architecture.
As a side-effect, yt-dlp will now search in a few more locations for config files.
