Add Web Worker Offloading to list of Performance features

[westonruter]

The Web Worker Offloading plugin is now live! https://wordpress.org/plugins/web-worker-offloading/

This adds the plugin to the list of experimental performance features to activate:

Note the modification of the per_page field is simply to bust the WordPress.org API response cache, as otherwise the plugin is not currently included in the results and the screen is:

I'm not sure how long the responses are cached. Perhaps in another hour it will be flushed.

@westonruter Mostly looks good, except the hack, see below.

Also worth noting that the description of the plugin doesn't look right. At a minimum, it should also start with a third-person singular verb like all the other descriptions. Additionally, we should consider making the description more meaningful to an end user - for instance it could lead to the question "why would it help to offload scripts to a webworker?"

This is a bit of a strange workaround. 🙃

I think we can omit this, the cache should refresh soon enough.

[westonruter]

Should hopefully. Still cached as of now. We can leave this open until the cache expires I guess.

[felixarntz]

I'm sure this won't be relevant anymore by the time we release this 😆

[westonruter]

Cache still not expired! Wow. I wonder if it only is invalidated once one of the plugins in the response is touched.

[westonruter]

Maybe I should directly commit the description update to the 0.1.0 tag to see if that invalidates it.

That description for WWO looks good to me! Note that it looks like you accidentally updated the Image Prioritizer description too?
