- Disable rather than hide unused menu items, reorg into sub menus.

The motivation for this change is a bit obscure. When you assign a keyboard shortcut (AKA hotkey), Calibre erases any shortcuts that don't have valid actions. That seems sensible and right at first, but there are plugins that vary what menu items/valid actions are available by current library. So changing a shortcut for a view in View Manager in one library can erase your 'Add/Remove Reading Lists' shortcuts in FFF if those are only configured in a different library.

I've offered a PR to Kovid to fix it in Calibre, but I admit it's a less than perfect solution.

This test version addresses the issue for FFF, at least.
