Message:

Plugins: Load wp-admin/includes/plugin.php earlier.

Partially reverts [59479] and [59461], which previously tried to move some functions from wp-admin/includes/plugin.php to wp-includes/functions.php so they are available early, so that get_plugin_data() can be used.

However, other functions from that file are often used by plugins without necessarily checking whether they are available, easily causing fatal errors. Requiring this file directly is a safer approach to avoid such errors.

Props peterwilsoncc, dd32, swissspidy, johnbillion.
Fixes #62244.
