#64475: Make dependencies / states more clear

-------------------------+-----------------------------
 Coming from {{{wp-admin/plugin-install.php}}}, when viewing a plugin that
 depends on another plugin, the UI currently only states “Additional
 plugins are required.”

 It does not indicate whether the required plugin is already installed,
 active, or missing. The same lack of information exists on the Plugins
 screen.

 This makes it unnecessarily hard to understand what action is actually
 required.

 I have created a small starter patch to illustrate how this information
 could be exposed more clearly. The patch is only affecting the plugins
 list so far. Also CSS is missing.
