	 * no output at all - a list that cannot be parsed, a get that reads as "not
	 * installed", an update that changes nothing and says nothing. Measured on
	 * Box b8jci2ss4 with change-wp-admin-login: `plugin list --format=json`
	 * returned 3041 bytes without this file and 0 bytes with it.
	 *
	 * auth_redirect() is pluggable and this file is required before WordPress
	 * loads pluggable.php, so defining it here wins. There is no HTTP request
	 * to protect under WP-CLI - the caller already has shell access - so doing
	 * nothing is the correct behaviour rather than a workaround.
