T10077: Reduce the cost of building the "Quick Create" menu

rP7969f66dfe07: Fully modularize the "Quick Actions" menu

Summary

Ref T10077. Currently, we issue 6+ queries on every page to build this menu, since the menu is built application-by-application.

Build the menu with dedicated modules instead so a single "EditEngine" module can provide all of them with one query.

I'd like to reduce this to 0 queries but I'm not totally sure what we want to do with this menu.

This change removes these items, because EditEngine can not currently provide them:

Calendar: Eventually via EditEngine eventually.
Conpherence: Probably via EditEngine, doesn't seem too important.
People: Maybe via EditEngine, doesn't seem too important? "Welcome" is likely better?
Pholio: Eventually via EditEngine.

It adds a bunch of other items as a side effect:

This reduces the queries issued on every page by ~5.

This also makes quick create actions visible while logged out (see T7073).

I'm not sure what the long-term version of this menu looks like. This moves slightly toward maybe putting some things like flags into it.

(Personally, I never use this menu.)

The shortest-effort, reasonable-ish path is probably to add an option to let applications opt out of the menu, and then hide badges, blogs/posts, EditEngine forms, and packages (leaving tasks, pastes and projects -- do we even need projects?).

I can force other stuff (people, pholio, etc) back into the menu for now if you don't want to remove them.
