[BUG] Some plugins do not work due to the use of symlinks for plugin directory

Current Behavior

Hello,

I'm trying to use this docker image with the plugin OpenID Connect.
It works with the image lscr.io/linuxserver/piwigo:13.1.0, but starting with lscr.io/linuxserver/piwigo:13.2.0 the plugin does not work :
When I open http://localhost:8080/plugins/OpenIdConnect/auth.php I get an internal error (code 500) instead of being redirected to the auth provider.

The image 13.2.0 correspond, I think, to the addition of the symbolic link /app/www/public/plugins -> /config/www/plugins. I believe this is because some modules define relative path, like here auth.php#L18 which doesn't points to the right directory when symbolic links are used.

There is also an issue in Piwigo repository which does not seem up-to-date but which mention incompatibility between symbolic links and some plugins: Piwigo#907

When I remove the symlink, be deleting the line init-piwigo-config/run#L50, the module works perfectly.

Expected Behavior

http://localhost:8080/plugins/OpenIdConnect/auth.php shouldn't raise an internal error.

Steps To Reproduce

1. In Piwigo administration panel, install and enable the plugin OpenID Connect
2. Edit the plugin configuration and add an Issuer URL, Client ID and Client secret. Check Enable Authorization Code Flow and save settings
3. Logout
4. Try to log in, the server respond with an internal error.

Any updates on this one?

I've picked this up and will try to resolve. If it is indeed a symlink issue it may require some changes to how the container works.
