[JENKINS-15057] Manual plugin upload should download plugin dependencies

[jenkins-infra-bot]

When manually uploading a plugin X (Manage Plugins -> Advanced -> Upload Plugin) Jenkins does not automatically install plugins which X depends on, unlike with the regular plugin installation from the catalog (Manage Plugins -> Available).

  Probably, the issue should be closed with the "as designed" status.
  BTW, a notification in UI would be useful

  I disagree. With dynamic loading enabled, it really attempts to behave as update center installation.
  
  This behavior should be changed, and downloading only not happen when the appropriate .never system property is set (i.e. Jenkins in offline mode).
  
  Still, not a bug.
