 When the admin menu is folded or auto-folded (but not when in responsive
 view) the current menu item should have an aria-haspopup="true" attribute
 like all the other menu items since it does have a fly-out sub-menu.
 Should probably be set and removed with JavaScript depending on the menu
 collapsed/expanded status.

 With the attribute set, screen readers would correctly announce the menu
 item has a sub-menu, see screenshot below:
