Comment:

 This patch adds a “Download” row action to the Plugins admin screen,
 allowing users with the `update_plugins` capability to download a ZIP
 of the locally installed plugin.

 The implementation:
 - Works for both directory-based and single-file plugins
 - Generates the ZIP from the local plugin source
 - Uses nonces and capability checks
 - Uses existing core ZIP utilities (PclZip)
 - Does not alter existing plugin activation, update, or deletion logic

 Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
