 This is done in themes, but needs to happen in plugins as well.

 If someone uploads a plugin with a proposed slug that is already in use,
 we need to have the plugin FAIL. This would prevent people from uploading
 their free plugin with the same name as their pro one and goofing all
 their users.

 The breakpoint should be 50 users.

 This would also need a tool on the admin end so we can see what's going on
 (much like we have for author cards). This WILL NOT fix a problem if we
 manually rename a slug per their request, but if we have the tool at least
 we'll be able to see why :/
