 With the introduction of shinier updates in 4.6, it appears that the error
 messaging around deleting an activated plugin wasn't ported into the new
 system properly.

 '''To reproduce:'''

 1. On Plugins Screen, select an activated plugin.
 2. From "Bulk Actions" select "Delete"
 3. Click Apply

 '''Result:'''

 Nothing happens. Silent failure (to delete).

 '''Expected Result:'''

 Error message explaining that you can't delete activated plugins.

 In one case, I actually saw the expected error message after refreshing
 the plugins page, but I haven't been able to replicate that since.
