Bug Description

The OPAC hides the welcome message, logout button, my account link, and most other indications that a user is logged in behind a drop down menu on mobile devices. It should be immediately obvious to the user whether or not they are logged in, but currently folks can only tell if they happen to have items in their basket.

The classic solution here is probably the best:
- If the user isn't logged in put a log in link in the upper left hand corner
- If the user is logged in put either a logout link or a user menu (with just things specific to their account, including a logout link) in the upper left hand corner

A proposed patch is at https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=bcd34d6d8feebf88a50db4c45e60b71993ff7390

This patch displays 'Login to My Account' or 'Logout' outside of the collapsible section of the menu so that these links display next to the collapsed hamburger button. If the menu is collapsed, these options are also suppressed from the expanded menu.

I, Gina Monti, sign off on this bug. Log into my account and logout both show in the banner of the mobile view.

I've got a couple nitpicks:

* On phone screens, the hamburger menu does not stay put in the right hand corner when the user is not logged in
* I prefer "Log in" rather than "Login", and "Log in" is used elsewhere in the OPAC
