 In [41806] for #6531 the logic for gathering the list of `$allowed_files`
 was modified to allow for a unlimited depth for listing out files to edit.
 However, the same change was not then likewise applied to
 `wp_edit_theme_plugin_file()` when actually validating the file path to
 edit. The result is that a user can view the code any file in a theme but
 they cannot save any edits they make. The logic in
 `wp_edit_theme_plugin_file()` needs to be updated to match the code in
 `theme-editor.php`.
