 Today, when using the UI to add a new plugin, I only have two basic
 options.
 • I may either upload the plugin as a zip-file, which somehow hasn't got
 into my behavior yet. (But soon may, if the issue described here doesn't
 get a nice solutuion.)
 • Or I can search for Keyword|Author|Tag

 I'd like to have a third way of finding the plugin. Reason is I may
 already know the exact plugin slug (or plugin URL).

 One way might be to add one more option in the drop-down, to make it
 Keyword|Author|Tag|Plugin URL

 And if the user selects the option Plugin URL, then we should disregard
 anything up to last occurrence of "/" and then use that last part as the
 plugin slug.
