This patch implements what I think is the consensus on the preferred
PopUpMenu behaviour in response to various mouse actions. It is not
subject to the constraints of #7022, which doesn't work correctly when,
for example, the desired menu position is not exactly at the click point.
It works as follows:
A (secondary) mouse ''click'' in the menu activation area (e.g. View)
holds the menu open until the next click, whether the mouse-up is outside
or inside the menu itself.
A slower press and release will always close the menu, selecting and
returning any item the cursor is over at the time.
This now works wherever the menu is designed (or happens) to appear.
There is no need to constrain default 'openAlways' or 'clickToOpenRect'
settings, which however may be used as always to modify the default.
It distinguishes between a "click" and a "press" via the double-
click_speed user preference (which is how BeOS also distinguishes them.
