 I have noticed that with fresh WP instance adding CPTs using
 `register_post_type` and setting `public` to `true` doesn't show that CPT
 on Appearances > Menus page.
 Also, found that the CPT created is listed under `metaboxhidden_nav-menus`
 from function https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-
 admin/includes/nav-menu.php#L163

 However, It should work with `public` set to `true` or `show_in_nav_menus`
 set to `true`. But its not showing when fresh install or Screen Options
 not set.

 '''Alternative Suggestion:''' We can overcome this issue by adding a
 filter here https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-
 admin/includes/nav-menu.php#L169
