+Add `buttonChildren` and `children` props to `UserHeaderItem`
+
+This increases the flexibility of the `UserHeaderItem` component by allowing the `AppHeaderDropdown` label to be passed via `buttonChildren`. More buttons or other list items in the dropdown can be passed via `children`.
+
+**Example:**
+```tsx
+<UserHeaderItem buttonChildren="Some custom label">
+    <Button variant="contained">Some custom button</Button>
+    <Button>Some custom button 2</Button>
+</UserHeaderItem>
+```
