User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
In J3 there was the ability to add your own link (labelled custom help) on the help dropdown menu.
In J4 we no longer have a help dropdown - we have a dashboard instead which is constructed in a completely different way. In addition in Joomla 4 we have the ability to place a much more prominent custom support link as a module in the sidebar.
As a result this PR removes the code related to creating the non-working custom help link.
To test just make sure the admin menu works as it did before and that the remaining options in the admin menu module (show new and show help) still work.
Someone can always add this functionality back into Joomla at a later date - but it definitely wouldnt use this code as explained above and imho better to remove the non-working code and module options

The custom forum works fine when using the alternative main menu.
Can't we try to have it also work in joomla main menu instead of deleting all?

On the admin login page, the module login_support contains links to support sites shich can be customised. One of the hidden sectrets which needs documentation.
