Describe your use case and the problem you are facing

wp plugin list --update=available fails to display what version updates are available.

Describe the solution you'd like

wp plugin list --update=available --fields=name,status,update,version,update_version works as desired, which made me wonder why update_version field isn't part of the default output set?

I am aware of update_version possibly being subject to a race condition, where a plugin author may upload a newer version during the time to user executing the actual wp plugin update command. Still feels like seeing update_version has more benefits than drawbacks.

Your thoughts?

That'd be useful to me too. I think it's worth adding to the default output of the plain wp plugin list command too.

[siilike]

This would be a significant usability improvement.

I'm open to it, if someone would like to submit a PR for it. We should probably change wp theme list too, for parity.

If someone is looking for inspiration, in #379 I ended up with a related change by adding auto_update to the default plugin and theme list output. Might be useful here.

I would like to work on this issue during the #hackday
@swissspidy , thanks for pointing to the PR for inspiration 👍
