 Plugin administration lacks of an update possibility by uploading zip
 files. This feature is only half-done in 2.7, you can only upload plugins
 as zip to install them, not to update them.

 Zip file uploads should be treated the same as the other install/update
 possibilities like remote.

 #9708 provides a testcase that can be used to test such am update by zip.

 currently a over-upload in the install page does throw an error that the
 directory already exists:
