Allow pure information and not only links in Administration Bar

[neoxx]

Derived from ticket #14772

Purpose:

Extend the Admin Bar API in a way to allow pure information (arbitrary HTML) which is not wrapped in links.

Reasons:

• Integrate plain texts in the Admin Bar by plugins

• Create valid XHTML with all HTML-elements (e.g. 'bigger' components like the search bar in a <div>) which fit inside of a <li>

Two possibilites:

• empty href => no_link_possible.diff

• hooks in quicklinks-list and/or between links-list and search-bar ?> admin_bar_inner_hooks.diff

I'm not a big fan of either of these patches.

[neoxx]

I know. ;) But have for example a look on 'Add new' which currently points to nowhere...

Why not? More extensibility is always going to be better than less, right? And this has no negative effect whatsoever, only positive.

I prefer the first patch, but either would do. Or both, since they serve slightly different purposes really. :-)

I can create a new ticket if need be, but it looks like [19328] (not 100% sure) has caused some funkiness with the dropdown arrows
