 [11595] and [11596] introduced checks to make sure that one can load only
 plugin pages that have been registered.

 The problem is that it fails before the backwards-compatible redirect has
 a chance to do its thing.  That backwards-compat redirect, in wp-
 admin/admin.php, makes sure that plugins pointing at edit.php?* get
 redirected to the 2.7+ tools.php pages.

 Patch adds an entry in $_registered_pages for 'edit.php'-based hooknames
 for each 'tools.php'-based hookname.
