 Per the [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/internationalization/how-
 to-internationalize-your-plugin/#text-domains Plugin Handbook]:
 > The text domain must match the `slug` of the plugin. If your plugin is a
 single file called `my-plugin.php` or it is contained in a folder called
 `my-plugin` the domain name must be `my-plugin`. If your plugin is hosted
 on wordpress.org it must be the slug portion of your plugin URL
 (`wordpress.org/plugins/<slug>`).

 Unfortunately, this goes unnoticed or ignored by many authors until
 translators and GTEs/PTEs complete the translation, only to find out that
 it doesn't work as expected, leading to frustration.

 By adding a check on plugin upload if text domain and plugin slug don't
 match, with a link to the handbook article above, we can hopefully reduce
 the confusion a bit.

 Props to @fierevere for the idea.
