Adds the Audacity-specific user plugin folder (~/Library/Application Support/audacity/Plug-Ins/) to the macOS tab of the Installing plugins page. This matches the existing Windows documentation of %AppData%\audacity\Plug-ins. Verified by inspecting Audacity source: LadspaEffectsModule.cpp loads plugins from FileNames::PlugInDir(), which on macOS resolves to ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/Plug-Ins/.

Adds
~/Library/Application Support/audacity/Plug-Ins/to the macOS tab as the LADSPA user plugin path, matching the existing Windows entry for%AppData%\audacity\Plug-ins.Verified against the Audacity 3.x source:
LadspaEffectsModule.cpploads fromFileNames::PlugInDir(), which resolves to this path on macOS. VST/VST3/AU/LV2/Vamp don't usePlugInDir(), so the entry is correctly LADSPA-only. Folder also confirmed on my own Mac.Scoped to macOS — Linux paths from audacity/audacity#5746 left for a follow-up.
