#37495: Regression in WP 4.6 RC 1 - can no longer replace plugin upload form
(removed action)

 In WP versions up to and including 4.5, the "upload plugin" form is output
 by WP calling the action 'install_plugins_upload'.

 As such, it's possible to replace that form (as I do in this plugin with
 over 3,000 active users: https://wordpress.org/plugins/upload-larger-
 plugins/ ) with an alternative with a remove_action() on the default
 action, and add_action of your alternative.

 That's gone in WP 4.6 RC 1; as part of the re-arrangement of the plugin
 upload experience (from a tab into a slide-down), the action call (which
 has been presented since WP 2.7) has been removed (apparently
 unintentionally), replaced with a direct call to the internal WP function.

 The attached patch adds it back. Since the action call is to a very short
 function that only outputs the HTML fragment, it has no other impact.
