 Allowing custom statuses to be added to wp-admin/plugins.php via the
 plugins_list and plugins_list_status_text filters is becoming a source of
 abuse by plugin authors.

 Fake statuses are being created as a way to place the plugin author's name
 on the filters list: https://snipboard.io/Q47l3R.jpg

 I believe this will be increasingly used, and the important "Active,
 Inactive, ..." filter links list will become cluttered with nonsensical
 links.

 Enrico Battochi and I already proposed creating a proper filter by the
 plugin author to reduce the urge to use the plugins_list filter, but I do
 not believe this will prevent abuse of this filter:
