#3180: Plugin Directory Admin: Rejecting a plugin with an existing name causes
weird errors

 When a plugin is rejected its slug is changed from plugin-name to
 rejected-plugin-name-rejected

 The problem is that people could submit the SAME plugin name again and get
 the slug plugin-name, which when rejected would be rejected-plugin-name-
 rejected ... again

 This throws an error telling you that the name is already in use. If you
 go back and refresh the post, there is no more slug to edit and the name
 is kind of messed up.

 In the case of REJECTED plugins, we shouldn't use the same if-name-exists
 check, and instead allow appending of a -2 as needed.
