QFactoryLoader::instance(int index) does not bother looking for static plugins

This problem means I am unable to package static plugins such as those loaded by QMediaPluginLoader

I understand that most of the time we just use shared plugins, but then QFactoryLoader is inconsistent.

QFactoryLoader::metaData() will return a list of metadata for both static and shared plugins.

But QFactoryLoader::instance(int index) will only ever load shared plugins (it does not look at QLibraryPrivate::staticPlugins() list)

I have attached my fix for this method
