Well, we already allow addition of top level menus in 1.5, and a couple
plugins already use this capability.  With this patch, top level menus
support the callback style API, giving them parity with the submenu API.
Now we're consistent.  I say document it with an admonishment, "What
makes your plugin so important that it needs a top level menu, huh?  Is
a submenu not good enough fer ya?  Do you get feelings of inadequacy
unless you're on top?"  :-)
