#52043: Post type listings in submenus require parent menu capability

 If a post type is registered under a submenu, such as
 `$args['show_in_menu'] = 'options-general.php'` or `$args['show_in_menu']
 = 'themes.php'`, viewing the post type listing seems to require the
 capability to access the parent page.

 If a user lacks the capability for the parent page but does have the
 capability to edit the post type, the post type appears in the admin menu,
 but returns a 403 error when navigated to.

 This makes no sense because the user actually does have the capability to
 access that page, and it's an independent page with its own capabilities.

 Note that even the parent menu link will be modified to point to the post
 type listing, rather than the normal parent page that they genuinely lack
 the capability for.

 There appears to be handling for this equivalent scenario for options
 pages, but not for post type listings.
