Add all plugin build directories to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and GAUDI_PLUGIN_PATH for tests - #89

Conversation
Only the DCHdigi build directory was in GAUDI_PLUGIN_PATH, so Gaudi could not discover plugins built in the other subdirectories from a clean build tree. Tests using them failed with "Algorithm of type ... is unknown (No factory available)". This went unnoticed because incremental builds keep a populated .plugins directory around, which is also on the path.
The same directories were missing from LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so loading a plugin that links against a library from another subdirectory would fail in a clean build tree for the same reason.
