Home dir support for python plugins on all platforms

[eelik]

The user's home dir is not supported for python plugins on all platforms, only on Linux. It should be easy because there's os.path.expanduser() functions which "On Unix and Windows, return the argument with an initial component of ~ or ~user replaced by that user’s home directory."

In kicadplugins.i there's

if sys.platform.startswith('linux'):
        plugin_directories.append(os.path.join(os.environ['HOME'],'.kicad_plugins'))
        plugin_directories.append(os.path.join(os.environ['HOME'],'.kicad','scripting'))
        plugin_directories.append(os.path.join(os.environ['HOME'],'.kicad','scripting','plugins

which could probably be replaced with

#for all platforms
plugin_directories.append(os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'),'.kicad_plugins'))
plugin_directories.append(os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'),'.kicad','scripting'))
plugin_directories.append(os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'),'.kicad','scripting','plugins'))

(NOTE: NOT TESTED)

Actually I was probably wrong, I don't remember anymore why I thought the user directory doesn't work on Windows. Apparently config_path (above the quoted lines) should add a user's directory to the list. But making the change shouldn't hurt, either.
