#50280: Enable auto-updates shows for plugins with no support

 I installed / activated the WordPress Auto-updates plugin (Version 0.8.1),
 and it shows "Enable auto-updates" and allows me to click that and enable
 auto-updates for ANY plugin. There are some custom written plugins I have
 in there that have no auto-update capability, so those plugins will never
 be updated. This could provide a false sense of security to users. There
 should be some opt-in mechanism for plugin authors to specify their plugin
 is even capable of auto-updates (same with themes).
