 This is a follow-up for [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/60783
 #60783]

 Executing a query towards the Plugins Directory API
 `http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.2/`

 Headers: `User.Agent = "WordPress/6.9-alpha-60093-src;
 http://localhost:8889/"`
 Params:
 ```
 {
         "action": "plugin_information",
         "request%5Bslug%5D": "secupress",
         "request%5Bfields%5D%5Bcontributors%5D": "0",
         "request%5Bfields%5D%5Bauthor%5D": "0",
         "request%5Bfields%5D%5Bsupport_threads%5D": "0",
         "request%5Blocale%5D": "en_US",
         "request%5Bwp_version%5D": "6.9"
 }
 ```

 Despite explicitly asking to not include, resulting response is including:
 1. Author
 2. Support Threads

 Also
 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html
 /wp-content/plugins/plugin-directory/standalone/class-plugins-info-api-
 request.php according to docs], some of those fields like:
 - `author`
 - `author_profile`
 - `support_threads`
 - `support_threads_resolved`
 - `upgrade_notice`
 - `requires_plugin`

 Are not even being handled there, so it's impossible to decide to filter
 them out even manually.
