Plugin loading: only load .so files on Linux

I've recently lost some hair chasing mysterious crashes at QGIS exit and finally figured out this was due to an old version of the GRASS plugin that was loaded together with the new version, because the current filter is *.so* . So restrict this to plain *.so extension, which will be consistent with what QgsProviderRegistry::init() does. For more context https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2018-June/053546.html
