Reorganize main menu

[Ruslan-Aleev]

What does it do?

Changed the order of the main menu items.
The items from the "Manage" section have moved to other logically related sections and a new "Access" item has been added and that's it.

What does it look like now:

All menu

---

Content

---

Extras

---

Account

The language switch is now in the system section. The language switch can be left in "Account" section, but it seems to me that this is more about the "System" than the "Account".

---

Access

All items related to users and access are moved to one section.

---

System

I re-opened a previously closed PR; the most useful thing about PR, it seems to me, is a new item for setting up access.

I like the access menu, but to me the language switcher is now too hidden. If I find myself on a site in a language that I’m not familiar with I look for a flag icon or a two-letter language designation somewhere obvious at the top level, not buried behind a menu in a language I can’t read or an icon that doesn’t scream language.

[Ruslan-Aleev]

@rthrash Yes, it’s probably worth returning the language switch to the user section, as it is now.
Although it’s unlikely that the language is switched often in the manager panel. After all, this is a manager panel, not a website.

[rthrash]

That’s very fair. I typically switch it on the login page where it is fairly obvious.

As far as reviewing this goes, I have no strong opinions on this either way. I'm fine with both the current and the proposed menu structure.

[Ruslan-Aleev]

Yes, I understand that the changes are not critical and can be left as they are.
But I see 2 advantages in the new menu:

• New separate access menu item;
• More logical grouping of items. For example, even though I work with MODX every day, I won’t tell from memory where some items are located. With the new structure, I hope this will become more obvious.

[rthrash]

I really do like this a lot and think it's a much more logical arrangement. I will get lost looking for the cache clear menu item the first few times, but I'll get used to it quickly. ;) Kudos @Ruslan-Aleev for your thoughtful work and the PR.
