 Per [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43992#comment:47 #43992
 comment:47] the second iteration of plugin activation checking should
 consider taking into account plugins that do not have valid `readme.txt`
 files but instead have added additional plugin headers, `Requires WP` and
 `Requires PHP` to the main plugin file.

 Precedence is given to headers from the `readme.txt` file.

 This is most common in premium plugins and plugins hosted elsewhere, like
 GitHub.

 This is a likely enough scenario that we should test for it.
