Improves the `'admin_bar_menu'` docblock by adding recommendations for customizing / changing existing items.
It also improves the `wp_admin_bar_render()` function's docblock by removing the "most optimal point" sentence.
The <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/58748">[58748]</a> changeset moved the user menu to a higher priority level (of `9991`) to achieve:
> so nodes added with higher priorities will still be shown visually before the user and recovery menu items, as they were prior to <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/58215">[58215]</a>.
When hooking into `'admin_bar_menu'` with a priority level less than 9991 and attempting to get the `'my-account'` node, `null` is returned. While the preferred approach is to hook into `'wp_before_admin_bar_render'`, the documentation of the `'admin_bar_menu'` action was previously misleading.
