Make plugin activation method constant

[tazotodua]

for example, there are plugins, that redirect to it's setting spage imediately after that plugin is activated (with 'activated_plugin' hook if i correctly remember).
however, when I activate plugin in bulk, bulk activation is stopped at that specific plugin, then it redirects to its settings page.

I think, there should be something like this:

if(!BULK_PLUGIN_ACTIVATION){
    redirect.....
}

so, make something , as developer could differentiate between individual and bulk activation.

Right now this is possible by doing:

<?php
$bulk_activation = (new WP_Plugins_List_Table())->current_action() == 'activate-selected';

if ( ! $bulk_activation ) {
    /** Redirect, etc. */
}

One obvious issue is that "activate-selected" might change as an action name in the future.

Same can be done with 'deactivate-selected'.

Just an idea.

Another option is to check the function call backtrace, all the way up to activate_plugin and then one more step up to see if it's activate_plugins or not.

A bit hacky, but will work, as well.
