Plugin installation via URL appends .tmp to the plugin directory in some cases

Description
When the plugin content is in the root of the a zip file and when installing the plugin via remote URL, the extracted plugin will be installed like wp-content/plugins/example.tmp/example.php, because download_url function will download it as /tmp/example.tmp and the installer later won't strip the .tmp like it does with .zip at line 156 of wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader.php.
It's not exactly a bug, but removing the .tmp suffix would improve the installer.
I've attached the code snippet to reproduce the issue (it's enough to run php test.php while in a clean WordPress installation).
Expected behavior:
plugin is installed as wp-content/plugins/example/example.php
Current behavior:
plugin is installed as wp-content/plugins/example.tmp/example.php
Script to run from a WordPress root to reproduce the issue
