Unload the config-installed plugin copy in buildAndLoad.sh

The session loads its own copy of the plugin from the Hyprland config, a
separate dlopen with its own decorations - so iterating with a dev build on
top of it drew two frames on every window.

Grep the path back out of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hypr rather than hardcoding it:
a home-manager-installed copy lives at a /nix/store path that changes on
every rebuild. -R, since those config files are symlinks into the store.
hyprctl plugin list reports no path, so the config is the only place to
read it from.
