 Remove HTML escaping for the plugin name and author fields that are
 displayed when deleting a plugin.

 While it might seem counter-intuitive to remove HTML escaping, these
 fields are already safe (they originate in
 `_get_plugin_data_markup_translate()` which handles sanitization and
 escaping), and the AuthorName field actually allows some HTML. This change
 prevents escaped HTML from appearing here.

 Fixes #25422
