Body: <p>I'm currently reviewing the permissions for a CiviCRM/WordPress site. Some of the user roles have the 'access_civicrm_nav_link' permission but I'm not sure what this is used for.  I couldn't find any documentation for it except for a reference to it in one of the WordPress integration files:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/master/CRM/ACL/Form/WordPress/Permissions.php#L185" rel="nofollow noreferrer">/CRM/ACL/Form/WordPress/Permissions.php</a></p>
  
  <p>Am I right in thinking that this permission dates back to an earlier version of CiviCRM and is no longer used?</p>
  
  <p>Is it safe to remove this permission from the user roles?</p>

  If you do a search at <https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core> and <https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-wordpress> there's a note about it being changed and the lack of search results indicate it's no longer used.
  
  EDIT: At github you can go back as far as v4.4 and see that it's not used, and while the old svn repo is no longer available you can see from <https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-12731> that it was used at that point and possibly even removed as part of that issue, somewhere around 4.2.
