hook_menu() docs need to explain that options don't work for tabs [#1417754]

Coming from #1043906: Document how to possible to add link options when defining local tasks and actions, reported by r_honey and confirmed/discussed by several others...

Problem/Motivation

In hook_menu(), you can add an 'options' element to your menu item arrays. It is documented to be used to add attributes to the generated menu links. However, the options are not currently applied when tabs are generated (MENU_LOCAL_TASK/MENU_LOCAL_ACTION).

Proposed resolution

#1043906: Document how to possible to add link options when defining local tasks and actions is asking for this behavior to be changed (to make options work with tabs).
This issue is asking for the current behavior, in the meantime, to be documented.

Remaining tasks

Update the hook_menu() documentation so it is accurate.

User interface changes

None.

API changes

None.

Tagging... I think that since the behavior has been tested by several people over on #1043906: Document how to possible to add link options when defining local tasks and actions, it's probably a good Novice project to fix the documentation?
