Fix some oddities in InitPlugins() - #4249

According to the documentation, micro reads plugin info from the `repo.json` file in the plugin's directory. In reality, micro reads plugin info from each and every `*.json` file in the plugin's directory, not only from `repo.json` (so if there are multiple json files, each next one overrides info read from the previous one). Fix this absurdity.
Built-in plugins don't have repo.json and never will, there is no point in checking if they have one, this only results in code duplication and dead code.

Fix a couple of oddities in micro's plugins initialization code I've noticed while reviewing #4247:
*.jsonfiles it can find in the plugin's directory, not just fromrepo.json.repo.json(or any other*.jsonfiles, see above) for built-in plugins as well, not just for plugins in~/.config/micro/plug/.
