Backport of WordPress/gutenberg#76994. Adds an optional is_active callable to the plugin definition when
registering a connector via WP_Connector_Registry::register().

The Connectors screen previously resolved a connector's active/installed status by checking is_plugin_active() and file_exists() against WP_PLUGIN_DIR only. Plugins installed as must-use plugins — or loaded from non-standard paths could not be detected this way, causing their connectors to disappear from the screen even though the plugin was in use.
