[MonoDevelop] Update "Addin Development Basics" with new install path

[Michael Hutchinson]

Thanks for the heads up, I added a link at the top to a more up to
date guide: http://monodevelop.com/Developers/Articles/Creating_a_Simple_Add-in

FWIW, with MD 2.8+ I'd recommend using the MONODEVELOP_DEV_ADDINS env
var (as described at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9637994)
instead of copying the dll into the install directory. I haven't had
time to update the guides for this yet, since it does currently
involve some manual editing of csproj files...
