* Add plugin CLI argument While working on supporting CustomValues in Plugins I stumbled upon the test utilities defined in [nu-test-support][nu-test-support] and thought these will come in handy, but they end up being outdated. They haven't been used or since engine-q's was merged, so they are currently using the old way engine-q handled plugins, where it would just look into a specific folder for plugins and call them without signatures or registration. While fixing that I realized that there is currently no way to tell nushell to load and save signatures into a specific path, and so those integration tests could end up potentially conflicting with each other and with the local plugins the person running them is using. So this adds a new CLI argument to specify where to store and load plugin signatures from I am not super sure of the way I implemented this, mainly I was a bit confused about the distinction between [src/config_files.rs][src/config_files.rs] and [crates/nu-cli/src/config_files.rs][crates/nu-cli/src/config_files.rs]. Should I be moving the plugin loading function from the `nu-cli` one to the root one? [nu-test-support]: |

Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
