Add Required Plugin header field to Header Requirements

[damiencarbery]

Issue Description

I suggest adding the new Required Plugins header field to the Header Fields page. The header field was introduced in 6.5.

URL of the Page with the Issue

https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-basics/header-requirements/

Section of Page with the issue

Header Fields: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-basics/header-requirements/#header-fields

Why is this a problem?

WordPress 6.5 introduced a new header field - Required Plugins. And it is a very useful feature to help users.

Suggested Fix

Add text like the following to the Available header fields list. This text is copied from the page mentioned in the 6.5 release notes.
https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/03/05/introducing-plugin-dependencies-in-wordpress-6-5/

Requires Plugins: This must contain a comma-separated list of WordPress.org-formatted slugs for its dependencies, such as my-plugin (my-plugin/my-plugin.php is not supported). It does not support commas in plugin slugs.
