BASE: Fix being unable to run games when using dynamic plugins

When the plugin-engine mapping is not cached in the configuration file,
we were not scanning all the plugins to establish the mapping.

This is a regression from commit: e2d91258b7bfb989dc099f516bb31ceb44554529

This commit reverts the offending commit and implements a proper fix for
the case where there are no dynamic plugins.

Fixes #11300.
