 Plugins: Introduce singular capabilities for activating and deactivating
 individual plugins.

 This introduces the following meta capabilities:

 * `activate_plugin`
 * `deactivate_plugin`
 * `deactivate_plugins`

 The singular `activate_plugin` and `deactivate_plugin` capabilities are
 used along with the corresponding plugin name when
 determining whether or not a user can activate or deactivate an individual
 plugin.

 The plural `deactivate_plugins` capability is used in place of the
 existing `activate_plugins` capability when determining
 whether a user can deactivate plugins.

 Each of these new meta capabilities map to the existing `activate_plugins`
 primitive capability, which means there is no
 change in existing behaviour, but plugins can now filter the capabilities
 required to activate and deactivate individual
 plugins.

 Fixes #38652
