#26574: Dashboard shows inaccessible links for Authors and Contributors

The "At a Glance" dashboard widget show "X Posts", "X Pages" and "X
Comments" with links to the corresponding listing screens, but there are
no capability checks in place when the links are output. This means Author
level users see a link to the Pages screen that they don't have access to,
and Contributors see a link to the Posts, Comments and Pages screens, none
of which they have access to.
In 3.7 and earlier, if the user didn't have the capability to edit the
object then the text was shown without a link.
