Load plugins’.mo and .po files from a directory

This is, in fact, already available by default. If specific locale isn’t available in plugin’s folder WordPress will try to fallback to languages directory.

It is defined by WP_LANG_DIR constant and for plugins the default location would be wp-content/languages/plugins. Note that name is expected to follow the specific format: name-locale.mo.
