With the new admin sidebar restructure, we have a link to "Installed plugins". We would like to ensure that when the admin is searching for a plugin name like "akismet" or "automation" this link will be visible. Also when entering the plugins page, related plugins should be highlighted.
Having the admin sidebar code in an instance initializer is not
ideal because:
* It runs during app boot which may not even be necessary based on site settings
* It makes it hard for plugins to register additional links in time without resorting
to before/after initializer gymnastics
This PR moves the admin sidebar into a lib and creates the panel
in custom-sections.js, then the sections and links are loaded when
the main sidebar component is rendered, which leaves plugins enough
time to add additional links in an initializer.

This commit adds some more links to the admin sidebar and
removes some to give it more parity with the old nav structure.
This also adds the `addAdminSidebarSectionLink` plugin API to
replace the admin-menu plugin outlet, which is used by plugins
like docker-manager to add links to the old admin nav.
This is v0 of admin sidebar navigation, which moves
all of the top-level admin nav from the top of the page
into a sidebar. This is hidden behind a enable_admin_sidebar_navigation
site setting, and is opt-in for now.
This sidebar is dynamically shown whenever the user enters an
admin route in the UI, and is hidden and replaced with either
the:
* Main forum sidebar
* Chat sidebar
Depending on where they navigate to. For now, custom sections
are not supported in the admin sidebar.
This commit removes the experimental admin sidebar generation rake
task but keeps the experimental sidebar UI for now for further
testing; it just uses the real nav as the default now.
Followup to b53449eac9,
it was too easy to add broken routes which would break
configuration for the whole site, so now we validate ember
routes on save.
NOTE: Most of this is experimental and will be removed at a later
time, which is why things like translations have not been added.
The new /admin-revamp UI uses a sidebar for admin nav. This initial
step adds a script to generate a map of all the current admin nav
into a format the sidebar to read. Then, people can experiment
with different changes to this structure.
The structure can then be edited from `/admin-revamp/config/sidebar-experiment`,
and it is saved to local storage so people can visually experiment with different ways
of showing the admin sidebar links.
