 There are many scenarios where one would like to have a plugin's folder
 symlinked to another location.

 A couple of these scenarios are described in #13550

 The reason this is not currently possible is because plugin_basename()
 doesn't know how to handle symlinks.

 The most simple and most flexible solution is to make the plugin basename
 filterable, leaving individual devs to set it up according to their
 environment.
