Summary WebKit2 should load plugins from [[NSBundle mainBundle] builtInPlugInsURL]

Old-WebKit includes [[NSBundle mainBundle] builtInPlugInsPath] in the search path for plugins, but WebKit2 on Mac does not. For applications that bundle custom plug-ins, it would be really nice if WebKit2 could include [[NSBundle mainBundle] builtInPlugInsPath] when loading plugins so that WKWebView can display custom plugin content. Our application [1] uses this functionality in old-WebKit, as does Mail.app and possibly others. Currently PluginInfoStore::pluginsDirectories() only searches: [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Library/Internet Plug-Ins"] "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" An alternate solution would be to expose API for adding additional plugin search paths.

We removed NPAPI support a while ago.
