Show a message about "My Account" menu link not being shown to anonymous users [#1698586]

As a followup to #1197622: My account link / menu item, it would be good to show a message letting the user know that the "My account" link won't be shown to anonymous users.

This patch code seems to already be part of codebase Drupal 8.x and Drupal 7.

Steps I took:
- Fetched fresh instance of Drupal 8.x on 7/14/2013 using Git
- Installed Drupal
- Logged in as Admin to instance
- Navigated to Menu>Structure>Menus
- For "User account menu," clicked "Edit menu button"
- Observed that the text "logged in users only" appears by the menu item "My account" when the "My account" menu item is enabled.
Screenshot:

- deselected the enabled checkbox and saved the menu
- Observed that the text "disabled" appears by the menu item "My account" when the "My account" menu item is disabled.
Screenshot:

- inspected the patch file and found code that appeared to provide those text strings to the user for the respective states.
- inspected the file referenced in the patch, core/modules/menu/menu.admin.inc, and found the code already present.

Because I already have some Drupal 7.22 installations, I checked those and saw the same behavior as listed above in the UI. I also inspected the file modules/menu/menu.admin.inc and saw the patch code present in that file.
