win32: Enforce loading of plugins from a trusted directory
Currently, there's a risk associated with allowing plugins to be loaded
from any location. This update ensures plugins are only loaded from a
trusted directory, which is either:
- HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN\plugin_dir (or if the key is missing,
then HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN, which is installation directory)
- System directory
Loading from UNC paths is disallowed.
Note: This change affects only Windows environments.
