The problem is the way Windows searches for dynamically linked DLLs (Dynamic-Link Library Search Order).
For example, LuaScript.dll is the plug-in DLL, loaded by Notepad++.exe, and lua53.dll is the auxiliary DLL, required by LuaScript.dll and also by user-installed Lua modules. Both DLLs should be located in \plugins\LuaScript. But, when Notepad++ calls LoadLibrary to load LuaScript.dll, Windows will not find the dynamically linked lua53.dll, hence the LoadLibrary call fails. This happens, because Windows will look in the application directory (which is the location of Notepad++.exe), and not in the LuaScript.dll directory.
To make Windows search in the LuaScript.dll directory, Notepad++ needs to call LoadLibraryEx with the LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_DLL_LOAD_DIR flag.

Unexpect behaviour: if "<NppDir>\...dll" and/or "<NppDir>\plugins\..dll" exist, they will be loaded because Notepad++ try to load "<NppDir>\pluginName\pluginName.dll" as plugin, in our case "<NppDir>\plugins\..\...dll" and "<NppDir>\plugins\.\..dll" respectively.
The fix is excluding both directories ".." & "." to not load mentionned above unwanted dll.
1. Load plugins only from the new plugin folder structure. example: Notepad++\plugins\myAwesomePlugin\myAwesomePlugin.dll
2. Load plugins from only one directory. If doLocalConf.xml is present, then it will be <NPP_INSTALLATION_DIR>\plugins\
otherwise %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Notepad++\plugins\
As a follow up to my previous pull request, this PR fixes the last remaining improper format specifiers. This allows to remove /Wv:18 compilation flag completely, since (presumably) the only reason it was added in the first place were those format specifier warnings, introduced in VS2015.
Effectively, all this PR does is applying fixes suggested by the compiler (included in those warnings).

The Access Violation while closing Notepad++:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/3961
could be due to SCN_UPDATEUI sending after NPPN_SHUTDOWN, that makes
plugins treat SCN_UPDATEUI on the released handle.
To avoid such situation, once NPPN_SHUTDOWN has been sent, no more
message will be sent to plugin.

V746 Object slicing. An exception should be caught by reference rather than by value. filedialog.cpp 183

Load plugin only when plugin name match to plugin folder name.
For example: "NppPluginDemo.dll" can be loaded only when it in the
folder named "NppPluginDemo".
1. GetLastErrorAsString is moved from PluginsManager.cpp to Common.h and common.cpp and also function signature is changed
2. Below method were already defined in common.cpp, but not declared in common.h
generic_string intToString(int val);
generic_string uintToString(unsigned int val);
3. Updated RunDlg.cpp to show error if ShellExecute fails
Closes#2626, Fixes#2179
