 Right now plugins can be renamed before they're approved/rejected. This is
 good!

 The problem happens when you try to rename a plugin to one that's already
 taken.

 For example, if you try to rename a plugin from `woocommerce-plugin-for-
 wordpress` to `woocommerce` you go to a page that says the name is taken.
 From there, you have to click the back button, ''refresh the page'', and
 try again.

 That rename check could be smarter.

 Ideas:

 1) Ajax check if the slug is taken and throw an alert box if it is before
 saving

 2) One of those 'as you type' checks like they have for if a username is
 available, again, before you click save.
