 The filesystem credentials request when updating or installing a plugin
 has been merged.

 @melchoyce has previously
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/timeline?from=2014-11-11T14%3A54%3A42Z&precision=second
 drafted a mockup for a filesystem credentials request].

 We opted for a modal for the UI of this interaction because a modal is
 more portable, and avoids customization of the same UI in multiple
 locations it will be used in (e.g. plugin cards, plugin list table, theme
 list table, theme cards, core upgrade screen).

 The FS creds form is typically plopped on its own screen, and has as much
 room to breathe as any other Settings page, which it shares likeness in
 both markup and layout. Mel's mockup tightens the request filesystem
 credentials UI in a constrained space without complicating anything. Let's
 implement.
