 Problem: I want to build my own admin with JS or an actual templating
 engine, how do I get the default menu data?

 `wp-admin/menu.php` is a maze of tuples, (ambiguous) globals,and
 uninitialized arrays. Not a lot is happening in this file, but you
 wouldn't know it because of how complicated it all looks. Also
 problematic: all of this code is top-level and inline, so it is not
 repeatable or portable.

 There are other pieces to this, but to start, I have overhauled the code
 in `wp-admin/menu.php` by encapsulating it in a class, `WP_Admin_Menu`.
