Gutenberg Plugin: Don't display Experiments page to users without permission

[t-hamano]

What?

This PR prevents the Experiments page from being displayed to users who do not have the manage_options permission.

Why?

My understanding is that in order to update the settings on this page, you need to be logged in as an administrator with manage_options privileges.

Therefore, a warning message will be displayed when a non-administrator updates the settings on this page.

How?

This page will not be displayed if the logged in user does not have manage_options permission.

Testing Instructions

• Log in as a non-administrator.
• Make sure that the Experiments submenu does not exist in the Gutenberg menu.
