Allow pages to have menu items

In Page Manager in Drupal 7, you can make your page into a menu item - similar functionality should exist for Drupal 8!

The biggest difference is that in Drupal 7, this was just changing some of the values returned from hook_menu() since page callbacks and menu items were conflated. In Drupal 8, they are completely decoupled, which means we can actually create multiple different types of menu entries for the same page!

So, in Drupal 8, we should support declaring multiple different menu items of different types (including action links, etc) at the storage level. For the purposes of this patch, it's OK if the UI only allows creating a single menu item - we can figure out the UI later, but we don't want to have to deal with changing the config schema later.

    Changed some code from #25 since it broke my normal menu links, the derivative manager was only adding default_menu_tab and menu_tab items to the array of derivatives, as well as some inconsistent usage of the keys "menu" and "menu_name" causing some further issues.

    I've also used core's menu link overrides to move some menu links around. With #25, none were applied. When I tried to update some values, the call to updateMenuLink caused a WSOD due to it trying to set the values directly to on page entity (i.e. $page->weight->value) which obviously doesn't exist. Should these overrides even be written directly to the page entity? Why not do what core does where menu link overrides are saved in a separate config entry? makes more sense IMO.
