[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Web Client Bar for Actions and Column Picker

[Remington Steed]

I think Lynn has a good point by calling it the "Grid Bar".  There may be
other "actions" areas on the screen, but we're talking about those specific
to the table/grid.  Combining all the ideas mentioned, how about "Table
Action Bar"?  I think "table" is more natural than "grid", but I could go
either way on "bar" versus "row".
