Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 > Second, there will need to be a way for someone to blanket
 enable/disable this feature for both plugins and themes. A constant will
 probably be best for this, similar to how it works for core with
 WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE. WP_AUTO_UPDATE_THEMES and WP_AUTO_UPDATE_PLUGINS
 would follow that naming convention. For now, this should be true or
 false. In the future, we could add support for security, or maybe even
 minor/major. When the auto-updates are enabled with one of these
 constants, the admin should indicate this somewhere. "Auto-updates are
 enabled for all plugins", or something to that affect.

 Would auto plugin updates disabled via `WP_AUTO_UPDATE_PLUGINS` prevent
 updates that are listed as `autoupdate => true` in the version check
 response from being automatically updated as well?
