Wireshark Version: 4.6.4

Problem:
Following up the guide https://mavlink.io/en/guide/wireshark.html and the plugin folder has changed for wireshark. Putting the lua script into the ~/.wireshark/plugins doesn't work for the wireshark version 4.6.4

As we can see in the attached screenshot, the lua plugins folder is now /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wireshark/plugins

I've tested it with the and putting the generated lua script in the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wireshark/plugins is indeed working.
