Description

An add-on the the Plugin Dependencies feature. Adds a Dependencies tab in the plugin install page. Adds support for non dot org plugin cards. If a requiring plugin does not have all its dependencies installed and active, it will not activate.

Plugins not in dot org may use the format <slug>|<URI> in the Requires Plugins header. URI should return a JSON compatible with the plugins_api() response or be a JSON file at the plugin root, <slug>|<slug>.json.
Adds a new view/tab to plugins install page ( Plugins > Add New ) titled Dependencies that contains plugin cards for all plugin dependencies.
Displays a single admin notice with link to Plugins > Add New > Dependencies if not all plugin dependencies have been installed.
If the dependency API data is not available a generic plugin card will be displayed in the Dependencies tab.

There are several single file plugins that may be used for testing in test-plugins/.
