Improve Performance screen when external requests to WordPress.org fail

[westonruter]

Fixes #1473.

With the following plugin code active:

add_filter( 
	'pre_http_request',
	static function ( $pre, $args, $url ) {
		if ( strpos( $url, 'wordpress.org' ) ) {
			return true;
		} else {
			return $pre;
		}
	}, 
	10,
	3 
);

@westonruter +1 to this nice little UX improvement for when things are broken :)

This reminds me that it would be great to avoid all these individual requests. The more plugins we add, the more of a bottleneck / failure risk they'll become.

I don't think wordpress.org has an API endpoint to get the same data for multiple plugins in bulk, but exploring Requests::request_multiple() might be a good idea. On the other hand, this would require some hacks because the way WordPress core wraps the regular Request::request() method makes for different behavior. I wish WordPress core just had wp_request_multiple()... 😮‍💨

@westonruter The wp_admin_notice return empty <p></p> tag as the default is true forparagraph_wrap parameter. In 96ab82b i have set false for that parameter and add <p> tag in last message.
