 If you're running a development build of WordPress, let's give you a 'Beta
 Testing' tab on plugin-install.php.

 As a shortcut (and because it's easier to implement this way and does no
 harm), it'll actually respond to plugin-install.php?tab=beta on any site,
 though of course that may change with plugin install screen changes in
 4.0.

 As of right now, the plugins are json-rest-api, wp-front-end-editor, and
 press-this. These are hard-coded on api.wordpress.org for the moment, but
 trivial to change/update.

 I could also see us adding a "Development" tab that lists plugins like
 Debug Bar and Log Deprecated Notices. (Again, only if not on a stable
 build.)

 Note that "development" here includes develop.svn/git.wordpress.org, even
 if running a stable version of this. This is by design.

 Also note that the WordPress Beta Tester plugin is omitted, since you
 already need to be on a beta track to get here, and may just confuse
 people.
