#24048: Increase the usability of Plugin Editor's files list (separate directories,
limit height)

Regarding the list under Plugin Files in the Plugin Editor (plugin-
editor.php):
1. Plugin root directory does not need to be mentioned in the file list.
2. In order to improve readability, directories should be marked in a way
that distinguishes them from the filename.
Preferably directories should not be shown next to every file, but rather
as headers, under which all files in the same directory are grouped. This
would make the list a lot shorter, as currently most of the filename-and-
path-combinations span two lines.
3. The form of the list should be changed to limit the total height of the
list. This is especially useful for plugins with dozens of editable files.
One way would be to use a < ul > element with expansible/collapsible
directory headers, showing only the first-level directories and files by
default.
