* TWEAK: When sending backup data directly site-to-site (when migrating), handle the (very rare) case where a remote server complains of the chunk size after accepting previous chunks of the same size

* TWEAK: Show a warning if UpdraftPlus's directory in wp-content/plugins has been manually renamed to include a space, which WordPress does not support
