Cms: Display current username inside CP's top right "My account" menu

[j-greig]

Description

When testing user account permissions, it would be helpful to know who you're currently logged in as (without having to hover over the menu to see the alt tag, or clicking through to the My Account page itself)

Maybe something like...

<div class="menu" data-align="right">
    <ul>
        <li class="light" style="font-size: 10px; padding: 8px 0">{{ currentUser.getName() }}</li>
        <li><a href="{{ url('myaccount') }}">{{ 'My Account'|t('app') }}</a></li>
        <li><a href="{{ url('logout') }}">{{ "Sign out"|t('app') }}</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

Displaying the current username in the account dropdown is also an established design pattern — see examples below.

Thanks for considering my request :)
