The default value of QLibraryInfo::PluginsPath is $prefix/plugins,
where $prefix is the path to the bundle's contents directory
(for example, .../foo.app/Contents/ on OS X, or .../foo.app/ on iOS).
On Apple platforms the directory is actually called "PlugIns".
Plugins could previously be loaded on OS X by coincidence, but
if the system is using an HFS+ Case Sensitive filesystem (and this
is ALWAYS the case on iOS-like operating systems), the case
mismatch would cause plugins in an application bundle not to be
found/loaded.
This change allows plugins to be located in application bundles
on Apple platforms regardless of the HFS+ case sensitivity mode
and without needing to specify a qt.conf file.
