Describe the bug

According to the sample config, plugins will not attempt to be loaded unless plugins_loading.enabled is true. This does not appear to be the case. I just ran across a situation where plugins_loading was not defined in the config at all, and yet zenohd still attempted to load the plugins.

To reproduce

plugins:
  rest: {}
# zenohd -c /tmp/zenohd.yaml
...
2026-02-18T15:38:30.632679Z  INFO main ThreadId(01) zenoh::api::loader: Loading  plugin "rest"
2026-02-18T15:38:30.632803Z ERROR main ThreadId(01) zenoh::api::loader: Plugin load failure: Library file 'libzenoh_plugin_rest.so' not found at commons/zenoh-util/src/lib_loader.rs:124.

System info

zenoh version 1.7.2 from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/zenoh/zenoh/latest/zenoh-1.7.2-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-standalone.zip
