Avoiding the GST_PLUGIN_PATH Environment Variable on Windows

[David Schleef]

On Windows, GStreamer will also scan DIR/lib/gstreamer-1.0/, where
DIR is the output of g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module().
This is often exactly what you want in the case where you bundle
GStreamer with an application.
