Comment:

 The dependency note shown in the Plugins list table currently states that
 both
 deactivation and deletion are blocked, which is misleading.

 This patch updates add_dependents_to_dependency_plugin_row() to
 distinguish
 between:
 - blocking deactivation when dependent plugins are active, and
 - blocking deletion when dependents exist but are inactive.

 The change reuses WP_Plugin_Dependencies::has_active_dependents() and is
 messaging-only.
 Patch attached.
