According to [1], there are no function to get the global plugins path[2] with
lua, nevertheless there are persconffile_path([filename]) and
datafile_path([filename]). I want to share the script with others, but due to
no function to get the path, I cannot do it simple way and good portability.

*eg)  /usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.11.3

I have submited a question about this, please see also [2].
