Doc: Make the instructions for enabling plugins more consistent

- Add the following for documented plugins that are
  disabled by default: \note Enable the <name> plugin to use it
- Add \sa {Enable and disable plugins} for the above plugins and
  describe there how to find the About Plugins dialog on macOS
- For the one occurrence in the QDS Manual, add instructions for
  finding the About Plugins dialog on macOS ("Enable and disable plugins"
  is not included in the QDS Manual
- Mostly remove other kinds of references to enabling plugins
