Had a discussion with Robert about this on IRC. We agreed that it's not
necessary to have an "install" notice on admin/index.php like the one we
have for upgrades. That's because upgrading is a more urgent matter than
installing (since potentially it's fixing important bugs), whereas it's
okay to procrastinate on installing.

On the other hand, I think it's a fairly common user experience to drag
in the plugin and then just expect it to work, without realizing you
need to go to the extensions page (at least, this happens to me a lot).
So we agreed it would be a good idea to put a warning/notice on
admin/index.php that says "There are uninstalled plugins." and has a
link to the extensions page.

Title:
  uninstalled plugins should be listed at top of extensions page

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When one has a lot of plugins installed it is not obvious that there
  are non installed ones if they need to be scrolled down to.

  would be better if the non-installed ones could be listed at the top
  of the extensions page for better UI.

  Also having a message on admin/index.php page if new plugins exist on
  update of Mahara code would be handy as well.
