As part of making the UI cleaner we can simplify the top menu which lists the dashboard, help, settings, username, ...

Currently the menu is separated in two parts. We can "merge" those two menus together and hide some links in a submenu or even "remove" some links. For instance "Widgets" and "API" are used very rarely.

Idea would be

- Dashboard
- All Websites Dashboard
- Email & Sms reports
- Alerts
- Username (eg root)
  + Widgets
  + API
  + -------
  + Settings
  + Help
  + Logout

As the "Email & sms reports" and "Alerts" are user related (each user creates its own alerts / reports) we could display them in the user menu as well and have an even simpler navigation:

- Dashboard
- All Websites Dashboard
- Username (eg root)
  + Settings
  + -------
  + Email & Sms reports
  + Alerts
  + -------
  + Widgets
  + API
  + -------
  + Help
  + Logout

This lets the user focus on analyzing data.

The user menu would also allow 3rd party plugins to add links as the top menu already does. In the future we can add links like "Report a bug" and "Give feedback".

- Dashboard
- All Websites Dashboard
- 3rd PARTY LINKS
- Username (eg root)
  + Settings
  + -------
  + Email & Sms reports
  + Alerts
  + 3rd PARTY LINKS
  + -------
  + Widgets
  + API
  + -------
  + Help
  + Report a bug
  + Give feedback
- Logout

Any thoughts?

closing this ticket for now as it is working. Documentation is already updated but need to document the deprecation of the Menu events which is covered in #5327

If someone wants to suggest a better design of the menu create a new ticket please. I just reused the existing "style/design".

refs #5192 simplified admin menu since it is very confusing for devel…

…opers to find the correct translation key to use for menuName. Results in lots of dulicated code as well (same translation keys are mentioned everywhere). Also removed the $displayedForCurrentUsers in those methods since boolean parameters are bad practice and it did result in duplicated code as well as you had to call the same function or pass the same variable in each add() call. Moved the VisitorGenerator in a development section since it is not really diagnostic. There will be another development menu item with the next commit. Need to update ui tests

…since it is in core and should not know whether are actions, referrers and visitors item but it is very convenient for developers. Once we have DI we could add those methods there
