Fixed PayPal NEW error with user upgrades.

We use a slightly different implementation of Stripe for Cloud subscriptions though the most recent changes we made to Stripe for 2.3 were basically based off that.

So to say they are not well-maintained is not strictly accurate.

        'plan_id' => $planId,
        'quantity' => '1',
        'custom_id' => $purchaseRequest->request_key,
        'application_context' => [...
