The new message NPPM_GETPLUGINHOMEPATH allows plugins to get plugin home root path. It's useful if plugins want to get its own path by appending <pluginFolderName> which is the name of plugin without extension part.
Simply plugins loading emplacement:
NPPM_GETAPPDATAPLUGINSALLOWED to check to see if loading plugins from "%APPDATA%\..\Local\Notepad++\plugins" is allowed.
If doLocalConf no
else yes
1. Load plugins only from the new plugin folder structure. example: Notepad++\plugins\myAwesomePlugin\myAwesomePlugin.dll
2. Load plugins from only one directory. If doLocalConf.xml is present, then it will be <NPP_INSTALLATION_DIR>\plugins\
otherwise %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Notepad++\plugins\
Old installation behaviour is loading installed plugins without restart Notepad++, which could make some plugins loading uncomplete.
New behaviour use the same implementation of plugin updating, witch quit notepad++ for plugin installation then restart Notepad++.
For the sake of retro-compatibility, change the way of plugin packaging:
1. The plugin DLL file should be placed at the root level of the ZIP file. It has to be the only DLL file on this level.
2. The root level of the ZIP file can also contain additional files and folders which will be copied to the users harddisk as well.
3. Everything what gets copied from the ZIP file will be stored under <Npp-installation-folder>\plugins\<plugin-name>.
Use the _isFolding flag to avoid expensive redundant operations that cause an apparent hang when opening or switching tabs to a large fully-folded file.
The released version of Notepad++ uses the _isFolding flag to avoid expensive redundant operations when switching to a fully-folded tab using the mouse pointer.
However, opening a fully-folded file or switching to a fully-folded tab with the keyboard can produce a delay so long that Notepad++ appears to hang forever.
The hang is 100% reproducible and can be demonstrated in less than 60 seconds:
Download a deeply-nested file such as https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/master/PowerEditor/src/Parameters.cpp or https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/files/1555939/nppTest.zip
Open the file in Notepad++ and fold it using Alt-0
Create a new empty tab
Switch back and forth between tabs using the mouse, which is fast
Switch back and forth between tabs using the keyboard (Ctrl-Tab, Ctrl-Page(Up|Down), Ctrl-NumPad[0-9]), which will hang
This pull request applies the existing _isFolding flag to the forgotten keyboard and file open operations and prevents the hang caused by opening or switching tabs to a fully-folded file.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue:
1. Open two files a.txt (first tab) and b.txt (second tab)
2. Start tail monitoring for a.txt (first tab) and activate b.txt (second tab)
3. Now delete a.txt from the explorer
4. Come back to notepad++
5. Observe the behavior now
Unexpected Behavior:
At step 4, if user choose to keep the file, a.txt is still marked as monitoring. As soon as del action occurs, b.txt automatically comes under "tail monitoring".
If user choose to remove file, a.txt should be removed from the notepad. This is absolutely fine.

Short problem description:
Drag/drop a tab with the mouse to another position,
then all other tabs can't be activated with clicking anymore.
Also a missing include was added, that prevented compilation

When we are restoring a wrapped buffer,
we send SCI_VISIBLEFROMDOCLINE message to convert a file line number to a visual line number,
scintalla seems to ignore the "wrap" option of this buffer.
Workaroud: execute SCI_ENSUREVISIBLE after set position and before executing SCI_VISIBLEFROMDOCLINE.
It seems that this issue has been encountered in ScitillaComponent/FindReplaceDlg.cpp in Searching::displaySectionCentered
