New description:

 As we did in #35614 for taxonomy terms, singular capabilities should be
 introduced for managing individual plugins.

 This would allow fine-grained cap checks such as `current_user_can(
 'activate_plugin', $plugin_file )`.

 This ticket covers activating and deactivating plugins.
