 Arguably, plugins are one of the biggest parts of WordPress. When
 debugging a site, deactivating plugins is usually the first thing a dev
 would do in order to determine if the issue is with a plugin, theme or
 core file.

 I'd like to purpose we add a new menu item under the Site-Name menu, in
 the WP-Admin Bar, that displays:

 Dashboard, Themes, Widgets, Menus and '''a new item called Plugins'''.
 Linking to /wp-admin/plugins.php.

 This way, from anywhere on the front of the site, a user can quickly
 access the plugins page. As of now, you have to go to Dashboard > Plugins
 to get to the right screen.

 I'd also like to add a new menu item under the +New menu, in the WP-Admin
 Bar, allowing a quick link to add a new plugin. Just like we add a new
 page/post/CPT.

 I have a working prototype that can be found here:
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugins-admin-bar/]. See Screenshots for
 proof of concept.

 This plugin code is not the traditional way of adding features into core,
 but the idea is pretty straight forward. Works on Multisite and Single
 Site installs. If approved, I'll add this appropriately to core following
 coding standards.
