[pve-devel] [PATCH docs] correct outdated info about gui header

[Dominik Csapak]

the header part of the gui did change, by moving the user name into a
button, which now contains more user specific actions. Update it to be
correct again.

applied, with some language follow-ups, thanks — keeping such things
up-to-date is important work!

IMO that name is rather odd.. changed to "User Menu"

I connected the following paragraph with the above definition-list entry
by placing a "+" on the empty line, that way they are separate paragraphs
but still indented on the same level, which IMO makes sense for the menu
child entries.

"various user specific options" is a repetition from the list above, sticks
especially out because it's already a bit superfluous there too, i.e., what
else would the "user menu" contain? ^^

I reworded to avoid the parenthesis, but they were mostly pre-exsiting,
so just mentioning for the record.
