 With the addition of Plugin Dependencies in WordPress Core, it's possible
 that a dependent plugin may release an update that adds or changes its
 dependencies.

 If a plugin update increases the WordPress/PHP version requirements,
 WordPress Core notifies the user after checking `requires_php`, for
 example, and the update is unavailable and WordPress until are
 requirements are met.

 `requires_plugins` is already added to the Plugins API when querying
 information about a plugin. Can we also add it to the Update Check API?
 Doing so will also enable WordPress Core to prevent auto-updates of
 plugins, ensuring trust in the auto-updater.
