 Currently we are able to load plugins and themes from subfolders like
 {{{
 wp-content/plugins/plugin-subfolder
 }}}

 but somehow we don't use the same logic for mu-plugins.

 I would want
 {{{
 wp-content/mu-plugins/plugin-subfolder
 }}}

 to act in similiar manner.

 I have been using bedrock-autoloader.php for long time for this but I
 think it's finally time to support this feature without extra hacks.

 For example if I use a hack like bedrock-autoloader.php the wp-cli won't
 list the used mu-plugins from subfolders as activated mu-plugins causing
 confusion for admins.

 Supporting subfolders from mu-plugins helps using dependency managers like
 composer.
