Description

Prior title: In vector-user-menu-anon-editor use something besides <p> tags

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
In the "..." menu for non logged in users, an entry is formatted with a paragraph tag, could this be changed to something else?

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
Reported on enwiki in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)&oldid=1135749665#Hidden_code_in_Vector_showing_when_a_Wikipedia_page_is_linked_in_the_Discourse_app

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
Some external tools such as Discourse are confusing this menu for content, and including it when it isn't useful

Is this still happening?

I do see that element is no longer wrapped in paragraph tags:

	<div class="vector-menu-heading">
		Pages for logged out editors <a href="/wiki/Help:Introduction" aria-label="Learn more about editing"><span>learn more</span></a>
	</div>

I don't have an account on that external platform to test though

Will ping the original on-wiki reporter to check.

Original reporter confirmed solved in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_203#c-Mr_Serjeant_Buzfuz-20230407150700-Xaosflux-20230328094800
