Subject: [PATCH] Plugins: Use is_plugin_active() for the edit warning in the
 Plugin Editor.

The "Making changes to active plugins is not recommended" warning used a
raw in_array() check against the active_plugins option, which doesn't
account for network-activated plugins. The page heading a few lines above
already uses is_plugin_active() correctly, so use the same helper here to
keep the two checks consistent.
