 I love the new Shiny Updates, but some users (myself included) may want to
 still see the "ugly" details behind them. While this is possible from the
 WordPress Updates screen at `/wp-admin/update-core.php`, we're missing the
 functionality on the main Plugins page.

 Not only is it good information to have, it would be extremely helpful for
 troubleshooting problems when something goes wrong with an update since
 currently there is no feedback to look at when a failure occurs. (for
 example, troubleshooting tickets like
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32110 #32110] when plugins are
 being made to update in rapid-fire succession)

 Can we add a "Show Details" link on the main plugins page, similar to what
 is already being shown on the WordPress Updates page, so that we can
 expand the details there as well? Optionally, we could even enable it as
 soon as the Update link is clicked, so that it could be expanded during
 the "Updating..." phase. That wayan admin could see what step of the
 process the update is at. Presently, you just cross your fingers and hope
 that it's still doing something while you wait for the "Updated!" or
 "Update Failed" response.
