 In 2.7 we added a new hook: after_plugin_row_$plugin_file

 after_plugin_row fires after every single plugin row.

 after_plugin_row_$plugin_file only fires after the particular plugin that
 matches $plugin_file.

 WordPress Core still uses the older of the two, which is inefficient, and
 less flexible.

 This patch change core so it uses the "_$plugin_file" version of the hooks
 when doing standard plugin update notices.  This has two advantages:

 1) More efficient.  The hook only actually fires if a plugin has an
 update, instead of firing once for every single plugin.

 2) It's now possible for plugins to manipulate the notice for a particular
 plugin (for example, a plugin might have reason to suppress or replace its
 own update notice).  Previously only *all* notices can be turned off of
 changed -- not on a plugin by plugin basis.

 It's a straightforward change.  Somebody please commit this -- I could
 really use it for a "3rd-party update checker" I'm trying to put together.
