Description:
mysql_config --plugindir outputs /usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin when using *tar.gz package instead of using installation directory

How to repeat:
$/users/ssmirnova/mysql-5.1.28-rc-linux-i686-glibc23/bin/mysql_config 
Usage: /users/ssmirnova/mysql-5.1.28-rc-linux-i686-glibc23/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
        --cflags         [-I/users/ssmirnova/mysql-5.1.28-rc-linux-i686-glibc23/include  -g -DUNIV_LINUX]
        --include        [-I/users/ssmirnova/mysql-5.1.28-rc-linux-i686-glibc23/include]

Suggested fix:
Link plugindir to INSTALLATIION_DIRECTORY/lib/plugin as other parameters do.

      bug#39641: mysql_config --plugindir links to /usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin in
                 tar.gz packages
      
      Do the fix_path kludge for the plugin directory.

I'll take this one as I implemented the plugindir in the first place, made Kent reviewer instead.
