 As a WordPress theme developer, I want to remove nav menus from the
 Customizer when the theme doesn't make use of widgets or menus.

 The `customize_loaded_components` filter fires on `plugins_loaded` though,
 which mean my theme can't use it to filter components to load. Instead, I
 have to use an imprecise set of `remove_action` and `remove_filter` calls.

 It would be better to have an explicit API for themes to filter which
 components to load.
