Summary18829: How orphan temp plugin files should be handled
Description

When a plugin is uploaded but the installation process is not finished, how orphan temp plugin files should be handled?

Should the files be cleaned?
When?

How we identify what is an orphan installation?
Maybe setting a date on the tmp subdir name?
