Installed filter plugins directory is not added to plugin paths by default #477

Description

@jhendersonHDF

When HDFView is installed on the system, the default plugin paths include a GitHub CI path and a default system path, neither of which contain the HDF5 filter plugins from the hdf5_plugins repository that are bundled with HDFView. For example, on Linux the filter plugins are installed to <top_level_dir>/lib/app/plugin. This means that datasets written with these filters cannot be viewed unless the path is manually added to the plugin paths in the HDFView preferences. Where possible, the installation process should modify the default paths and instructions for doing so should be provided otherwise. The GitHub CI path should also be removed from the plugin paths.
