Description

### Impacted plugin

Jetpack

### Quick summary

When uploading a plugin via WP Admin, the Activity Log references it as uploading an attachment and then shows it as a deleted attachment after installation.

This could probably be consolidated into one log entry, perhaps "Plugin manually uploaded and installed"

### Steps to reproduce

1. Upload a plugin
2. View the Activity Log and notice references to attacments

### A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

I would expect the Activity Log to be more clear about what happens when manually uploading a plugin

### What actually happened

No but the platform is still usable
