The dune-site plugin system expects all the entries of the plugin directory to be directories, each of which should contain a META file.
Unfortunately, we can end up with an empty directory there in a rather normal course of actions, after removing a package that provides a plugin.

Here is a small scenario that shows the problem. First, the following commands exhibit the intended behaviour:

$ opam install ortac-core
[...]

$ ortac
ortac: error: no plugin is available, please install at least one

$ opam install ortac-qcheck-stm
[...]

$ ortac
ortac: error: missing command
Usage: ortac [COMMAND] …
Try 'ortac --help' for more information.

But removing the second package breaks the first:

$ opam remove ortac-qcheck-stm
[...]

$ ortac
Fatal error: exception The plugin "qcheck-stm" can't be found in the search paths "%{prefix}%/lib/ortac-core/plugins".

where one would expect the initial behaviour (no plugin is available...).

CHANGES:

### Added

- allow libraries with the same `(name ..)` in projects as long as they don't
  conflict during resolution (via `enabled_if`). (ocaml/dune#10307, @anmonteiro,
  @jchavarri)

- `dune describe pp` now finds the exact module and the stanza it belongs to,
  instead of guessing the name of the preprocessed file. (ocaml/dune#10321, @anmonteiro)

- Print the result of `dune describe pp` with the respective dialect printer.
  (ocaml/dune#10322, @anmonteiro)

- Add new flag `--context` to `dune ocaml-merlin`, which allows to select a
  Dune context when requesting Merlin config. Add `dune describe contexts`
  subcommand. Introduce a field `generate_merlin_rules` for contexts declared
  in the workspace, that allows to optionally produce Merlin rules for other
  contexts besides the one selected for Merlin (ocaml/dune#10324, @jchavarri)

- melange: add include paths for private library `.cmj` files during JS
  emission. (ocaml/dune#10416, @anmonteiro)

- `dune ocaml-merlin`: communicate additional directives `SOURCE_ROOT`,
  `UNIT_NAME` (the actual name with wrapping) and `INDEX` with the paths to the
  index(es). (ocaml/dune#10422, @voodoos)

- Add a new alias `@ocaml-index` that uses the `ocaml-index` binary to generate
  indexes that can be read by tools such as Merlin to provide project-wide
  references search. (ocaml/dune#10422, @voodoos)

- merlin: add optional `(merlin_reader CMD)` construct to `(dialect)` stanza to
  configure a merlin reader (ocaml/dune#8567, @andreypopp)

### Changed

- melange: treat private libraries with `(package ..)` as public libraries,
  fixing an issue where `import` paths were wrongly emitted. (ocaml/dune#10415,
  @anmonteiro)

- install `.glob` files for Coq theories too (ocaml/dune#10602, @ejgallego)

### Fixed

- Don't try to document non-existent libraries in doc-new target (ocaml/dune#10319, fixes
  ocaml/dune#10056, @jonludlam)

- Make `dune-site`'s `load_all` function look for `META` files so that it
  doesn't fail on empty directories in the plugin directory (ocaml/dune#10458, fixes
  ocaml/dune#10457, @shym)

- Fix incorrect warning for libraries defined inside non-existant directories
  using `(subdir ..)` and used by executables using `dune-build-info` (ocaml/dune#10525,
  @rgrinberg)

- Don't try to take build lock when running `coq top --no-build` (ocaml/dune#10547, fixes
  ocaml/dune#7671, @lzy0505)

- Make sure to truncate dune's lock file after locking and unlocking so that
  users cannot observe incorrect pid's (ocaml/dune#10575, @rgrinberg)

- mdx: link mdx binary with `byte_complete`. This fixes `(libraries)` with
  foreign archives on Linux. (ocaml/dune#10586, fixes ocaml/dune#10582, @anmonteiro)
