[wp-testers] Automatic plugin update

[DD32]

Steps: 
1. If required, FTP details are asked to access the local server filesystem
2. It downloads the new version
3. It extracts the zip file to a temporary directory
If above suceeded:
4. Delete old plugin files
5. Copy new plugin into its place

The FTP details are only asked for if it cannot write directly to the filesystem (However, for testing purposes, its forced to use FTP at present)
