Description Susan McCourt

With the move of the nav actions to the left, we use an empty arrow button to pop down the actions menu.  We could style this nicer.  It would be best if we could make this look similar to whatever we do for image buttons (currently we do an orange hover).  Also replace the drop down arrow which can be done with CSS (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7990926/how-to-remove-down-arrow-icon-in-dijit-form-dropdownbutton for a starting point)...

Also, for an M1 hack, I use the menu title "*" to specify an empty menu.  This needs to be turned into a real API, a way for pages to say they want a menu group but no text title.  Currently the presence of a title is how we decide to generate a menu vs. using separators.

the arrow button looks particularly silly right next to a similar expand/collapse twistie.  We need an arrow button that looks like a gear.

The visual part has been changed/fixed, but we need to consider if the '*' hack will stay or we'll have real API for saying "give me the icon."

removed this feature from command framework.  We aren't using the textless (chevron) menus anymore.  I can't remove the CSS yet because the user menu still uses it.  Once Anton releases his user menu changes I'll get rid of the class.
