Engine.addSearchPath

This function appends a search path to the list of paths where to look for plugins.

A so-called "search path" actually consists of both a module directory (where the shared libraries or language modules lie) and a data directory (where the plugin data is).

The plugin will be able to use a correct data dir depending on where it is installed, hence allowing to keep the plugin agnostic when it comes to installation location: the same plugin can be installed either in the system path or in the user's home directory, without taking other special care than using peas_plugin_info_get_data_dir() when looking for its data files.

If @data_dir is %NULL, then it is set to the same value as @module_dir.
