Changeset 41290 for trunk/src/wp-includes/capabilities.php

Message:

Plugins: Introduce singular capabilities for activating and deactivating individual plugins.

This introduces the following meta capabilities:

• activate_plugin
• deactivate_plugin
• deactivate_plugins

The singular activate_plugin and deactivate_plugin capabilities are used along with the corresponding plugin name when
determining whether or not a user can activate or deactivate an individual plugin.

The plural deactivate_plugins capability is used in place of the existing activate_plugins capability when determining
whether a user can deactivate plugins.

Each of these new meta capabilities map to the existing activate_plugins primitive capability, which means there is no
change in existing behaviour, but plugins can now filter the capabilities required to activate and deactivate individual
plugins.

Fixes #38652
