Adds a link option to menu items which is either a string (the URL) or an object of {href, target, opener, referrer} such as {href: 'somepage.html', target: '_blank'}. The openener and referrer options are only needed to open windows in the same process, which gives that page access to window.opener and window.opener.document (those should be omitted in almost all cases).

This is all to address various problems with window.open that make it an anti-pattern in JS.

WIP because:

  • ColumnActions is using goog.window.open. Pretty sure this one is replaceable with further investigation.
  • os.openPopup may be a legitimate use of window.open, and I'm unsure how to either make that an exception to a conformance violation or implement that differently
  • Buttons in button bars that are wrapped in <a>...</a> are not styled correctly
  • Menu link text is highlighted via the a:hover style, while none of the other options are not (not sure if bug or feature)

Also, should we indicate that external links are external (a la Wikipedia)? Should we also force those links into a new tab?

'somepage.html', target: '_blank'}. The openener and referrer options
are only needed to open windows in the same process, which gives that
page access to window.opener and window.opener.document (those should be
omitted for any external links for security reasons).
