[Bug?] Problem with manilaSuite.html.editorialLinks

If we are looking at the same place, the conditional is not whether 
the current page is generated for an editor, but whether the obscure 
editors only flag in the plugin config table opens the  plugin to non 
ME editors or not.

The test is needed,  because it omits a link if the user isn't 
permitted to use the plugin,  but there's no need to make a relative 
link, that looks like an oversight to me.

To recap, I'd chnage it to this.

>if adrConfig^.flAddToEditorsOnlyMenu {
>	if flManagingEditor {
>		addLink (pluginName, baseURL + adrItem^)}
>	else {
>		if adrConfig^.flEditors {
>			addLink (pluginName, baseURL + adrItem^)}}}

Thanks for this, I've seen it too and never investigated.
