Public bug reported:

If a plugin has been installed, but then goes away (e.g. it is moved or
the user wants to uninstall it by removing the plugin directory), this
can cause various frustrations and site issues (unrecoverable error)
which prevent all users from using any plugin.

We should attempt to handle at least the base issue - a plugin going
away should not break use of every other plugin.

I've written a patch which wraps safe_require. This disables the plugin
and alerts administrators of the issue.
