Pull Request for Issue #10550

Joomla 3.5.1

Summary of Changes

When a folder with not installed extension is removed from webspace after it was found with button Discover it's always displayed in view
administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=discover
Patch adds a purge() call to method discover()

Testing Instructions

Create folder /plugins/content/discovertest/
Create file /plugins/content/discovertest/discovertest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<extension version="3.5" type="plugin" group="content" method="upgrade">
<name>discovertest</name>
<files>
<filename plugin="discovertest">discovertest.php</filename>
</files>
</extension>

Backend: Goto administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=discover
Click button Discover.
New item in view/list: discovertest. Don't install!
Have a look in database table xyz_extensions
You'll see an entry (highest extension_id) with state -1 and name discovertest.
Delete new folder above.
Click button Discover.
Nothing has changed in list of view and in database. Still an entry discovertest (that's not installable).
Apply patch.
Click button Discover and check list and database that entry discovertest has been removed.
