Is there an existing issue for this?
Description of the Issue
Similar to the NPPM_GETSETTINGSONCLOUDPATH message (added per #9168), so that plugins can ask for the Cloud Directory path string if Cloud Settings is enabled, it would be useful to have NPPM_GETSETTINGSDIRPATH to get a string with the -settingsDir path
Describe the solution you'd like.
Essentially identical to NPPM_GETSETTINGSONCLOUDPATH, but for -settingsDir command-line option: thus, it would be called with LPARAM=NULL to request the correct length (or 0 if settingsDir is not enabled), then a second time with the WPARAM=strLen+1, LPARAM=wchar_t* to populate a plugin-allocated string with the value set
