#8231: Plugin submission email subject lines display HTML entities instead of
plain text characters (e.g., "A & B" instead of "A & B")

 In the Plugin_Submission class, the subject() method inserts
 `$this->plugin->post_title` directly into a translatable string via
 `sprintf()`. The `post_title` is stored in the database with HTML entities
 (e.g., & instead of &), which are appropriate for HTML content but not
 for email subject lines.

 Current behavior: When a plugin is submitted with an ampersand in its name
 (e.g., "A & B"), the email subject line displays as:

 `Successful Plugin Submission - A & B`

 Expected behavior: The email subject line should display as:

 `Successful Plugin Submission - A & B`
