docs/tcg-plugins: document QEMU_PLUGIN behaviour
QEMU plugins can be loaded via command line arguments or via
the QEMU_PLUGIN environment variable. Currently, only the first method
is documented. Let's document QEMU_PLUGIN.
As drive-by cleanup, this patch fixes the path to the plugins
in the same section of the documentation.
