D23348: force applicationDirPath into first position when finding plugins

[Harald Sitter]

  Perhaps the answer actually is that QT_PLUGIN_PATH should not be necessary ;)
  
  This is a bit of a chicken and egg problem. When our software can't find plugins automatically we resort to QT_PLUGIN_PATH, but then because we use QT_PLUGIN_PATH we can't just break it to make our software smart. Perhaps the way to go about it is to manually build a list similar to libraryPaths, the idea makes me shiver though... or... just have the libraryPaths order changed in qt. I am really not sure there is a case where plugins "next to" the binary wouldn't be preferred over the ones in lib directories.
