Why is this filter needed? Couldn't a plugin just filter plugin_compatibility_warning_message to be an empty string if they don't want to show the message?

Won't this greatly slow down accessing the plugins screen, if every row rendering every row will involve a plugins_api() call?

I'm not sure this is the best way to integrate this information. I think it would make sense to show where the after_plugin_row_meta action fires.

This PR introduces a new inline admin warning in the Plugins > Installed Plugins screen when a plugin’s "Tested up to" version (retrieved via plugins_api()) is lower than the current installed WordPress version.
The goal is to improve plugin maintenance visibility and help site owners quickly identify plugins that may no longer be actively tested or maintained without requiring them to open the plugin details modal.
This enhancement aligns with similar UX patterns used in the Plugin Directory, where outdated testing information already triggers caution labels.
Behavior
Example message:
This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress (6.8). It may still work, but consider checking for an update or contacting the plugin author. Last tested with WordPress 6.6.New Filters Introduced
Allows controlling whether the warning should appear.
apply_filters( 'show_plugin_compatibility_warning', $show_compat_warning, $plugin_file, $plugin_data, $tested_wp, $wp_version );Allows customizing the text of the warning.
apply_filters( 'plugin_compatibility_warning_message', $compat_message, $plugin_file, $plugin_data, $tested_wp, $wp_version );Testing Instructions
Install any plugin with a "Tested up to" value lower than the current WordPress install.
Visit Plugins → Installed Plugins.
Confirm:
-- A warning row appears under the plugin.
--The text correctly inserts both version values.
-- The link opens the plugin details thickbox modal (if capabilities allow).
