Bug Description

In 1.3, handling of broken plugins is currently not great. There are various examples of invalid bugs, and forum posts of this.
If there's an empty folder in the artefact folder, or an old plugin with an invalid lib.php or version.php, then it all goes bang.
This is particularly true for the artefact plugin type since we loop through the artefact plugins in lib/web.php to add menu items.

Suggest we test whether we have a lib.php and report an error in some way which is a bit less obtuse.

Thinking about it, it may make sense to do more intensive tests as part of the upgrade procedure.
