Title:
  Carla can't find plugins in plugin directories located in the user's
  home

Status in carla package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in carla source package in Jammy:
  In Progress
Status in carla source package in Kinetic:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Users of Carla are unable to refresh audio plugins when more are
  installed, i.e. in the user's home directory. Furthermore, this can
  cause Carla to crash.

  [Test Plan]

   * Launch Carla
   * Click "Add Plugin"
   * Click "Refresh"
   * Click "Scan"
   
   Expected: Carla will scan for new plugins and find them.

   Actual: Carla does not scan for plugins, and may crash.

  [Where problems could occur]

   * The patch may just plain not work, in which case we may have to do
  a wholesale upload of Carla 2.4.3 instead as opposed to simply
  patching 2.4.2 with the cherry-picked commit as uploaded.

   * The other thing this might do is cause the application to cease to
  function, though this is highly unlikely.

  [Other Info]
   
  Original bug report as follows:
  ------

  In the LV2 location in my home directory .lv2 I have the following
  plugin:

  ➜ ls ~/.lv2
  librnnoise_lv2.so

  ${HOME}/.lv2 is configured in Carla as a search path.

  In the Add Plugin dialog for Carla if I search for noise nothing shows
  up.

  This worked fine previously on 21.10.

  Release notes for Carla 2.4.3 [1] include this line: Fix plugin search
  (regression from 2.4.2)

  Ubuntu Studio 22.04 currently has the bugged version:

  ➜ carla --version
  Using Carla version 2.4.2
