 Customize: Allow users to more seamlessly create page-based nav menus
 during customization.

 Introduces the ability to create stubs for the various post types to add
 to a given menu. This eliminates the need to leave the customizer to first
 create the post in the admin and then return to managing menus. Only the
 title of the newly-created post can be supplied; the post content will be
 blank and will need to be provided in the normal edit post screen outside
 the customizer, unless a plugin enables a post editing in the customizer
 experience. When a post is created and added to a nav menu in the
 customizer, the newly created post that is added to a menu is given the
 `auto-draft` status, and if the changes are not published, the `auto-
 draft` post will be automatically deleted within 7 days via
 `wp_delete_auto_drafts()`. However, if the customizer changes are saved,
 then these nav menu item `auto-draft` post stubs will be transitioned to
 `publish`.

 Includes portions of code from the Customize Posts <https://github.com/xwp
 /wp-customize-posts> and Front-end Editor <https://github.com/iseulde/wp-
 front-end-editor> plugins.
