 At the moment, most third party updaters use
 `pre_set_site_transient_update_plugins` to add extra update data.
 Unfortunately this method is prone to being a bit heavy handed, as
 `update_plugins` is updated in other places, such as when it has the
 expiration bumped just before the actual request. Custom updaters can't
 really hook into this correctly without doing some stupid tricks.
