Chef::Knife::SubcommandLoader::GemGlobLoader#gem_and_builtin_subcommands

Returns a Hash of paths to knife commands built-in to chef, or installed via gem.
If rubygems is not installed, falls back to globbing the knife directory.
The Hash is of the form {"relative/path" => "/absolute/path"}
--
Note: the "right" way to load the plugins is to require the relative path, i.e.,
  require 'chef/knife/command'
but we're getting frustrated by bugs at every turn, and it's slow besides. So
subcommand loader has been modified to load the plugins by using Kernel.load
with the absolute path.
