Display navigation menu as fixed menu or other navigation options

Description

Normally, when you scroll a Trac page, the main menu and other navigation controls may scroll out of the visible area. This plugin enables a more elegant way: either let the main menu stay fixed on top of the window or add bottom controls of context navigation.

Type of displaying menu, see screenshot of PreferencePanel. Possible types are:

• normal (default): No integration, leaves menu as in Trac standard
• fixed_menu: fixes menu on top of browser window
• buttom_ctx_menu: adds context menu at bottom of page, if available

This plugin somehow implements ​Trac-Ticket 8135.

Furthermore mainnav entries are customizable through the user preferences page, see also ​Trac-Ticket 10543.
