Description
Split from the New Layout (#263) for further discussion.
Group menus - Instead of the flat menus shown we can group menu items. So Issues would have submenus of: New Issue, Show All Issues, New Saved Query, and a dynamic list of each Query. I can try to take a screenshot example of this if needed.

I just want to say that I like this menu layout (and I'm the one who commented "I kindof like the 'New Issue' menu button")

On https://ux.finn.de/projects/uxdemoproject/issues you can try the menu presented above.
We extended the click area of the arrow in order to address accessibility issues.

Note: leaving in my jquery menu expand plugin and the ApplicationHelper#expand_current_menu in #263. It's used to automatically open submenus based on the current page.

Here is what I propose we use for project submenus for now. This is based on the original Shane & Peter theme and also incorporates some feedback from using it for the past year or so. [...] are multiple menu items, based on the current project data (e.g. menu items for Version1, Version2, Version3)
- Overview - Activity - Issues -- New Issue -- New Saved Query -- Issue Summary -- [Menu item for each saved query (dynamic)] - Roadmap -- [Menu item for each open version (dynamic)] - Time Entries (Details list) -- Report -- New Time Entry - Gantt - Calendar - News -- Add news - Documents - Wiki -- Index by title -- Index by date -- [Menu item for each watched wiki page (dynamic)] - Boards -- [Menu item for each board] - Files - Repository - Settings -- [Menu item for each project setting (dynamic)]

There's things which could have a "new $thing" action but don't, I think that should be made consistent and every menu entry that you can create an object in should have the "new $thing" menu subentry.

Okay, I think I've added them all now. Here is a screenshot of them all open (font is small so I could fit them all on the screen). There is a subtle line in some child menus that separate the main menu items from the dynamic menu items (e.g. issues, forums).

Added to master in b9b2c8c
I couldn't find an easy way to clear the line separating the two static and dynamic child menus. The line can be cleared but there is still a gap between the two ul items and the gray background leaks through. If someone can find the cause, feel free to fix it.
