docs/tcg-plugins: document QEMU_PLUGIN behaviour

QEMU plugins can be loaded via command line arguments or via
the QEMU_PLUGIN environment variable. Currently, only the first method
is documented. Let's document QEMU_PLUGIN.

As drive-by cleanup, this patch fixes the path to the plugins
in the same section of the documentation.

 Arguments are plugin specific and can be used to modify their
 behaviour. In this case the howvec plugin is being asked to use inline
 ops to count and break down the hint instructions by type.
