Subject: [PATCH] Add current exe directory to default `$NU_PLUGIN_DIRS`
 (#15380)

Quality-of-life improvement - Since core plugins are installed into the
same directory as the Nushell binary, this simply adds that directory to
the default `$NU_PLUGIN_DIRS`.

User-facing changes:

The default directory for core plugins is automatically added to the
`$NU.PLUGIN_DIRS` with no user action necessary. Uses can immediately,
out-of-the-box:

```nushell
plugin add nu_plugin_polars
plugin use polars
```
