Update plugin location docs 

This change updates the multi-component name to reflect the name
generated by the goreleaser configuration in packer-plugin-scaffolding.

It also adds a small call out about the SHA256SUM file that needs to be
present for binaries installed via `packer init` in case maintainers
want to test packer init locally without having to call out to GitHub.

For plugins located under the `github.com/azr/happycloud/` directory structure an accompanying SHA256SUM file
will be required in order for `packer init` to ensure the plugin being loaded has not been tampered with.
The SHA256SUM file will be automatically generated when a plugin is installed via `packer init` if the plugin
was installed manually into `PACKER_HOME_DIR/plugins/github.com/azr/happycloud/` then the file
`PACKER_HOME_DIR/plugins/github.com/azr/happycloud/packer-plugin-happycloud_*_x5.0_darwin_amd64_SHA256SUM` must be generated manually as well.
