Update plugin manager --path.plugins (#5690)

Browse source 
The plugin manager `--path.plugins` (old --pluginpath) is completely wrong in the documentation. It cost me FOUR hours to find the bug and I hope this fix will remove pain for other developers.

This change should be backported to the current documentation.

Fixes #5707

Using the Logstash `--path.plugins` flag, you can load a plugin source code located on your file system. Typically this is used by
developers who are iterating on a custom plugin and want to test it before creating a ruby gem.
The path needs to be in a specific directory hierarchy: `PATH/logstash/TYPE/NAME.rb`, where TYPE is 'inputs' 'filters', 'outputs' or 'codecs' and NAME is the name of the plugin.

bin/logstash --path.plugins /opt/shared/lib/logstash/input/my-custom-plugin-code.rb
# supposing the code is in /opt/shared/lib/logstash/inputs/my-custom-plugin-code.rb
bin/logstash --path.plugins /opt/shared/lib
