 If a plugin is manually updated then this upgrade hook won't fire. The
 best way to manage database upgrades is to do it the same way as WordPress
 does it. Store an option containing your plugin's database version and
 check it on the admin_init hook and run the upgrade routine when it
 doesn't match the version in your plugin. Many popular plugins use this
 method. It's definitely the most fool-proof.
