New action `manage_posts_before_extra_area`

[sebastian.pisula]

I think that should be action before table of posts in edit.php. Why ? Because I want add settings for post type in this section or custom form.

Thanks for the patch, @sebastian.pisula . What's the reason behind the <div> with no attributes?

Rather than specifically targeting the posts list table screen, I wonder if we might be better served to fire a more generic hook at the top of WP_List_Table::views() instead. Either way, I think we'd probably want to fire the hook after the admin notices markup.

Let's evaluate the proposal by @DrewAPicture with a more generic option, rather than being bound specifically to the posts list. And with the new admin interface incoming, I think that this should be better analyzed before stepping into this hook.
