title: Espresso openActionBarOverflowOrOptionsMenu causes NoMatchingViewException
body: <p>I have just started experimenting with the Espresso testing framework for Android and the first thing I wanted to do was click the "Settings" button in an activity's options menu. However, when I try to call <code>openActionBarOverflowOrOptionsMenu(getInstrumentation().getTargetContext())</code> the test crashes with this exception</p>
  
  <pre><code>android.support.test.espresso.NoMatchingViewException: No views in hierarchy found matching: ((is displayed on the screen to the user and with content description: is "More options") or (is displayed on the screen to the user and with class name: a string ending with "OverflowMenuButton"))
