#36705: Read-only plugins are uninstalled before deletion fails

 Plugin uninstall happens before deletion is attempted. If the plugin's
 files are read-only, the plugins list action says "Delete" but all that
 happens is uninstall and an error.

 Plugins that cannot be deleted because they are read-only in the
 filesystem should not have Delete buttons. `is_writable()` should be
 checked while constructing the actions. If read-only, either remove the
 button or replace it with an action which deletes the plugin's data and
 leaves the files. I prefer the latter.
