bug#45806: 26.3; `menu-bar-separator'

This variable (defconst) doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.

It seems to be used for menus in general; it doesn't seem to be tied to
the menu-bar in any way.  And its only doc is the doc string, which says
only "Separator for menus."  Could it be renamed to remove any mention
of the menu-bar (keeping the old name as alias)?

How is it actually used?  Is it used only in (some?) toolkits?

It's a defconst (why?), so presumably you shouldn't change it.  But
changing it doesn't seem to have any effect anyway, in MS Windows.  If
this is hard-coded then why is it even needed?
