To make packaging of special agents easier we now support the special agents python modules to be located at local/lib/python3/cmk/special_agents. This is analog to the shipped special agent path at lib/python3/cmk/special_agents.

The modules from the new path can then be imported as usual: import cmk.special_agent.your_name.
