Improve UI for managing multiple tiers (doesn't currently use AJAX)

Problem/Motivation

It is not possible to expand the tree to drag and drop items between e.g. the fourth level and the second level.

Right now the default only lets you see a single level of the menu tree at a given time, clicking "Edit child items" reloads the form to show that parent item and its immediate children. If you manually edit the configuration to change the "max_depth" value to e.g. "2" you can change it so that two levels are shown at any given time, but it's still laborious.

With a max_depth of 2 it goes from this:

to this:

In D7 the BigMenu dynamically loads sub items when needed, so it goes from this:

to this:

This makes for a much more useful UI.

Steps to reproduce

Build a menu system with a hierarchical tree.

Proposed resolution

Come up with a way of more easily expanding multiple levels of the menu system at one time so that items can be moved across multiple levels of the tree more easily.

Work out a way of handling the requested change.
