 For plugins uninstall, the standardized uninstall.php file has been
 introduced (see #5625), that is included only when a plugin is being
 deleted. There should be a similar file (maybe activate.php) included each
 time the plugin is activated. (We can't really do an install.php file,
 because there's no reliable way test whether a plugin is installed, it's
 plugin dependent.) This would allow plugin developers to separate and
 centralize their activation/installation code, rather than having to use
