On plugin update screen, offer more information and options

[krogsgard]

On the plugin update screen, where all available updates to plugins show, there would be some really neat information to be able to see:

• Is this plugin active on my website right now?
• Delete this (or these) plugin(s) rather than update

There is currently not a lot of information on this screen, and some of that information could be useful, particularly in eliminating cruft or unnecessary and no longer used plugins.

I did a very rough sketch of what I mean, and some information / actions that could be useful. Now that we have synchronous same-screen plugin actionability this may even end up being able to be somewhat elegant.

I love the idea. Adding the needs-design keyword so that the design team can review this and potentially iterate on the mockup.

Would it be a good idea to always display active plugins first, i.e. in the list table on Plugins screen too? (Also suggested in #44696 and #45056.) Seems consistent with the Themes screen, where the active theme is displayed first.

This came up in triage today. I'm not sure why this table is any different from the table used in Installed Plugins. If they were the same components, you'd have an existing/known UX pattern in place to depict activated plugins. If this moves forward, we should probably just do that.
