 This filter receives plugin information but no indication of the plugin
 file. For example:


 {{{
 Array

     [Name] => Akismet Anti-Spam

     [Description] => Used by millions, Akismet is quite possibly the best
 way in the world to <strong>protect your blog from spam</strong>. It keeps
 your site protected even while you sleep. T

 Settings page to set up your API key.
     [Author] => Automattic

 We have a WordPress.com use case where sites can have both platform-
 managed and user-installed plugins. The user-installed plugins can be auto
 updated by the site, but the platform-managed plugins cannot.

 The `auto_update_plugin` and `plugin_auto_update_setting_html` both
 receive objects with a reference to the plugin file, and we use that
 information to look at the plugin on disk and determine whether the plugin
 is auto-updatable. The `plugin_auto_update_debug_string` filter does not
 provide this information, making it difficult to provide useful auto
 update debug strings for the Site Health page.
