Ryan Ernst f20969959f Remove plugins dir reference from docs ()
While the plugin installation directory used to be settable, it has not
been so for several major versions. This commit removes a lingering
reference to the plugins directory in upgrade docs.

[TIP]
================================================
When you extract the zip or tarball packages, the `elasticsearch-n.n.n`
directory contains the {es} `config`, `data`, and `logs` directories.
We recommend moving these directories out of the {es} directory
so that there is no chance of deleting them when you upgrade {es}.
To specify the new locations, use the `ES_PATH_CONF` environment
variable and the `path.data` and `path.logs` settings. For more information,
see <<important-settings,Important {es} configuration>>.
The <<deb,Debian>> and <<rpm,RPM>> packages place these directories in the
appropriate place for each operating system. In production, we recommend
installing using the deb or rpm package.
