Bullet used for top-level outline topics.

prefix, which is concluded by bullets that includes the value of this
var and the respective allout-*-bullets-string vars.

The value of an asterisk (`*') provides for backwards compatibility
with the original Emacs outline mode. See `allout-plain-bullets-string'
