Provide admin pointer informing about the plugin's admin screen #193

@felixarntz

For WordPress plugins that don't add their own top-level menu item to the WordPress admin menu it has been notoriously hard to be noticeable after plugin activation. The "Performance Lab" plugin adds a new submenu item "Settings > Performance", but that's obviously hard to find since it's under the existing "Settings" top-level menu item.

Displaying a WP admin pointer was suggested in #61 (comment), and this issue is focused on implementing that.

Related is #192 which also adds an alternative way to discover the plugin's admin screen.

My suggestion for the admin pointer copy would be a simple text like this:

  • Title: Performance Lab
  • Content: You can now test upcoming WordPress performance features. Open Settings > Performance to individually toggle the performance features included in the plugin.
  • The Settings > Performance part could be a link to the admin screen.
