/**
* Returns the current plugin's excerpt as plain text, for the card and the embed.
*
* Excerpts are plain text by construction (the readme parser strips them), but
* excerpts imported from a plugin file header can still carry markup. Line
* breaks become spaces so the words on either side stay apart, then the tags
* go. Texturize runs first so that text inside <code> keeps its literal
* quotes, matching what the_excerpt() printed. The result is unescaped text:
* callers wrap it in esc_html().
*
* @return string The excerpt as plain text.
