 Bootstrap: Use `dirname()` when loading `class-wp-hook.php` from
 `plugin.php`.

 To allow `plugin.php` to be loaded before the rest of WordPress is loaded,
 it cannot rely on WordPress constants, such as `ABSPATH` and `WPINC`.

 Instead, we can assume that `class-wp-hook.php` will be in the same
 directory as `plugin.php`, so `dirname( __FILE__ )` will give us the
 correct path to load from.

 Props pento, dd32.
 Fixes #37707.
