### Plugin Updated: VIP File Service

 * Improve performance of `WP_Filesystem_VIP`‘s `copy()` and `move()` when the source
   and the destination are handled by `WP_Filesystem_Direct`
 * `WP_Filesystem_VIP::move()` gives up when the source is not a file; this prevents
   directories from being copied as empty files.

### Disable SAVEQUERIES in WP CLI Commands

For all the WP CLI commands we’re now setting the `SAVEQUERIES` to false, to improve
the performance.

The “My Jetpack” page is being disabled. The page is not relevant to VIP environment
since the Jetpack experience is highly tailored and the page can create confusion.
