Menu Handler

This is a handler to create menus and options. A menu object is the equivalent of a menu, a user module and a module in Tiki. It also contains all the options.

To create a menu which will not be in a module (ex.: for top or bottom), just ommit the module specific parameters (ex.: right/left, etc.)
