 Plugins: Add support for `Update URI` header.

 This allows third-party plugins to avoid accidentally being overwritten
 with an update of a plugin of a similar name from the WordPress.org Plugin
 Directory.

 Additionally, introduce the `update_plugins_{$hostname}` filter, which
 third-party plugins can use to offer updates for a given hostname.

 If set, the `Update URI` header field should be a URI and have a unique
 hostname.

 Some examples include:

 * `https://wordpress.org/plugins/example-plugin/`
 * `https://example.com/my-plugin/`
 * `my-custom-plugin-name`

 `Update URI: false` also works, and unless there is code handling the
 `false` hostname, the plugin will never get an update notification.

 If the header is present, the WordPress.org API will currently only return
 updates for the plugin if it matches the following format:

 * `https://wordpress.org/plugins/{$slug}/`
 * `w.org/plugin/{$slug}`

 If the header has any other value, the API will not return a result and
 will ignore the plugin for update purposes.
