ID 378267 - 'tab_stats.dat' is saved into places other than the .nuke directory

Problem summary
The tab_stats.dat file is created in the first path in the Nuke's plugin paths, whereas it should always be saved to the users .nuke directory, like the uistate.ini.

Customer reported version
nuke.11.2v5

Customer reported platform
windows10

Steps to reproduce

1) Clear your .nuke directory

2) Lunch Nuke

3) Create some nodes using the TAB menu. Notice the tab_stats.dat is created in the users .nuke directory

4) Run the below code, changing <path> for an empty directory path

import nuke
nuke.pluginAddPath("<path>")
print nuke.pluginPath() 

The <path> should now be the first item in the pluginPath

5) Create some different nodes using the TAB menu, the tab_stats.dat is created in the <path>

Workaround
Use nuke.pluginAppendPath() to add custom paths.

Or after using nuke.pluginAddPath() to add new paths, re-add the .nuke directory to the plugin path list using nuke.pluginAddPath(<Path/to/users/.nuke>)
