Comment (by TobiasBg):

 Is it actually necessary to call (and even keep)
 `_upgrade_580_force_deactivate_incompatible_plugins()` in trunk (i.e. WP
 5.9+)?
 If Gutenberg is so old that it would be deactivated in
 `_upgrade_580_force_deactivate_incompatible_plugins();`, it would also be
 deactivated by `_upgrade_590_force_deactivate_incompatible_plugins();`
 that is called in the next line.
 Thus, we can save a few if comparisons during the core upgrade, which can
 never hurt.

 As long as `_upgrade_580_force_deactivate_incompatible_plugins()` stays in
 the WP 5.8.x branch (which it will, due to the SVN branch), everything
 should be fine, I believe?

 (Moving the plugin deactivation code to a private function would also not
 really be needed then, either.)
