Plugins loaded via pytest_plugins global variable are not reported

[chbndrhnns]

When adding a pytest plugin to conftest.py's pytest_plugins symbol, this plugin is not reported:

• when running pytest --setup-plan
• when running pytest --version --version.
  (Is this supposed to report the same plugins?

Environment:

• Python 3.12
• pytest 8.3.1

MWE:

# tests/conftest.py
pytest_plugins = [
    "tests.myplugin"
]

# tests/myplugin.py
import pytest


@pytest.fixture
def myfixture():
    return 42

# tests/test_.py
def test_(myfixture):
    assert True

Output of pytest --setup-plan

I consider this a related issue: #12615

Actually, this is a duplicate of #12615. The root cause is same and the same code path is used.
