Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65459
This PR adds a "View more plugins by {Author}" link to the row meta on the Installed Plugins screen.
It appends a "View more plugins by [Author]" link to the plugin metadata row (alongside "Version" and "View details"). When clicked, this link directs the user to the "Add Plugins" screen, pre-filtered for the selected author.
Instead of aggregating multiple authors into a single "Trusted Authors" tab (which introduces severe N+1 query performance bottlenecks with the WordPress.org API), this context-aware link utilizes the existing author search functionality (
?tab=search&s=[AuthorName]).AuthorNameis passed throughwp_strip_all_tags()before interpolation, producing a clean search term in the URL and consistent output across thearia-labeland visible text. The block is guarded bycurrent_user_can( 'install_plugins' ), consistent with the adjacent Details link, and is inserted beforeapply_filters( 'plugin_row_meta', ... )so third-party code retains full control over its presence.
