I'm getting the documentation updated to make this clearer. We wanted to
avoid actually including mochiweb into the plugin, as bundling external
dependencies could quickly lead to naming clashes if taken up as a standard
pattern.

I've followed this exact set of steps, and the server is starting cleanly
for me. My plugin directory symlinks look like:
erlang-rfc4627 -> ../../erlang-rfc4627/
mochiweb -> ../../rabbitmq-mochiweb/deps/mochiweb
rabbitmq-jsonrpc -> ../../rabbitmq-jsonrpc
rabbitmq-mochiweb -> ../../rabbitmq-mochiweb

As an aside, if you're wanting the functionality previously provided by
rabbitmq-http2, then you'll also want to link in the
rabbitmq-jsonrpc-channel plugin - this plugin provides the actual support
for making JSON-RPC calls against the rabbit channel objects.
