- Adds 'Actions by Update Mode' menu

Under 'Actions by Update Mode', each action (that leads to downloads/updates where there is a choice of Update Mode) has a menu listing the update modes available for it.

This is a first cut and it touches some sensitive code, so it's here instead of in the usual test version spot to indicate it is a bit more 'test' than usual.

Each action - mode combo also has a shortcut available for hotkeys and can be used with the Favourites plugin. My expectation is that hotkeys and Favourites will be the primary modes of use for these.

Ideas/issues I am considering:
  • Should the 'Actions by Update Modes' menu be configurably available/hidden?
  • Should a 'download immediately' option for Update Existing and Update Anthology be available? Email has one, but it's different code.
  • Does 'From Web Page' belong in the 'Actions by Update Modes' list?
  • Should the 'Update Anthology Epub' action menu be under 'Anthology Options' instead?
  • Should email/anthology/from saved column menu items be concealed when not configured/available?
  • What should happen with epub update modes when the default format is not epub? Current behavior is to fall back to first available update mode. Skip for 'From URLs', Overwrite if newer for updates.
  • Update Mode is locked when called from 'Actions by Update Modes'. Should it be?

EDIT -- There is a bug in this version that expressed when using a different language and the translated strings. Alpha indeed.
