Summary	0027383: Move 'test_langs.php' script to admin checks
Description	Following discussion in 0027362, we can get rid of the script while keeping the functionality to help admins check for 3rd-party plugins language files by moving the logic into the Admin checks.
Tags	No tags attached.

I'm concerned with this, as this could lead to execution of potentially harmful code (scenario where admin installs a "trojan horse" 3rd-party plugin). We need to find an alternative approach.
