 Information in title attributes may not be available to screen readers;
 patch moves plug-in name from title attribute into screen reader text
 directly in link.

 Leaves title attribute on Installed notice; not clear how important the
 notification that the plug-in is up to date is. To me, it seems
 unimportant, so I'm OK with leaving it uncertain whether a screen reader
 will be able to get that information. Removing it from the title attribute
 would make it unavailable to sighted users, if it's hidden as screen
 reader text.
