Restore PayPal Standard for WooCommerce

As of version 3.0, this plugin includes PayPal Standard code, ensuring it continues to work even if WooCommerce removes it entirely in future releases.

PayPal has confirmed that they have no current plans to discontinue support for Standard PayPal. This plugin is created by an official PayPal Partner.
