Summary: use a menubar instead of a button for the canvas menu

Initial Comment:
Currently we have a button on the top-left for people to click on and show the 
main per-canvas menu. We should replace that with a menu bar across the top of 
the canvas windows and also provide a preference for switching between the two.

To fix this, we need to modify WorkArea::WorkArea in workarea.cpp at line 624 
to prevent menubutton (at line 722) being created and instead insert a menu 
bar. This includes increasing the number of rows and also moving the other 
widgets down 1 row.

The main menu definition is in ui_info in app.cpp on line 815 in the 
init_ui_manager function. That definition is incomplete because certain menu 
items are added/removed dynamically later.

Any solution also needs to ensure that the popup menu still works. Relevant 
places include CanvasView::popup_main_menu in canvasview.cpp at line 1798, 
CanvasView::on_layer_user_click in canvasview.cpp at line 2091 and probably 
elsewhere.
