Add a Plugins link to admin bar menu

[colomet]

Now we have acces to :
Dashboard
Themes
Widgets
Menus

Why not acces to Plugins? Why acces to Themes and Menus if once it is finish the site we do not use to change often?

@colomet The "Plugin" menu is not required to everyone as a shortcut menu on admin bar but if everybody agrees to add plugin shortcut then i have added patch for same.

I have added "Plugin" shortcut menu option after the "Menus" which shows if current user has capability to install plugins like current_user_can( 'install_plugins' ). Please see the below attached snapshot.

Removing the accessibility focus, as per today's accessibility bug scrub. More related to UI.

adding Plugins link within the Appearance group again, but at the end

adding Plugins link before the Appearance menu items

The new Plugins link would not belong between Appearance and Menus.

I prefer placing the new link before the set of Appearance links 40683.before-appearance.patch​ . However, that does not match the order of links in the side admin menu, so I made another option with Plugins at the end of the Appearance group 40683.end-of-appearance-group.patch​ .

Both patch options use the ID of 'ab-plugins' (similar to ab-icon and ab-item) to avoid any confusion with links added by plugins. A ​directory search found some nodes with a 'plugins' ID. Of course, this one could have a better name, too.
