Navigation block inspector: Move menu name, delete, manage menus to a more appropriate place

[afercia]

Description

In a way, related to #59706

In the Navigation block inspector, there are 3 tabs:

• List View: it contains the Menu tree.
• Settings: it's meant to contain settings of the navigation block.
• Styles: it contains style settings for the navigation block.

However, the 'Settings' tab contains also some stuff that is specifically related to a menu;

• Menu name input field.
• Delete menu button.
• 'Manage menus' link that points to the classic admin page to edit all menus.

I'm not sure these three items are in the right place.

• They are not 'settings' in the first place.
• They are not related to the Navigation block.
• Rather, they are related to the menu assinged to a Navigatiob block.

Also: I'm not sure what the plans are for the 'manage menus' classic admin page but, so far, some actions are only available on that page. For example, bulk deleting menus. It seems to me this page still has some value. However, the only way to access this page I could find is literally buried down within the inspector and less than discoverable. To access it, users have to:

• Select a Navigation block.
• Go to the Block inspector.
• Switch to the Settings tab (the gear icon).
• Scroll down to 'Advanced' and expand the panel
• Click the 'Manage menus' link.

Overall, I'd tend to think this UI isn't in the right place.

• Ideally, it should be moved to the 'List VIew' tab, where the actual assigned menu lives.
• The name of the 'List VIew' tab isn't ideal in the first place. While technically it does contain a List View, its actual content is the assigned Menu. It should be renamed to 'Menu'.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

• Go to the Site editor and select a Navigation block.
• Observe the block inspector contains 3 tabs.
• Observe the first tab is named 'List View' but it actually contains the assigned Menu and also shows a visible H2 heading 'Menu'.
• Siwtch to the Navigation block Settings tab (the gear icon).
• Scroll down to 'Advanced' and expand the panel.
• Observe the panel contains a mini UI that is related to the assigned menu: these are proprties (the name), actions (delete) or links (Manage menus) related to the menu, not to the Navigation block.

Screenshots, screen recording, code snippet

This section arguably belongs to the Navigation block settings:

The almost undiscoverable 'Manage menus' is the only link I could find that provides access to the classig Navigation Menus edit.php page:

These controls have been available in the Site View under Navigation now for some time. We also have a proposal to use Dataviews to further improve this. As a result I think we can close this Issue.

@getdave thanks for your feedback. This issue is about relocating these settings to a better place. Alternatively, remove them when #65828 will be completed.

It doesn't make much sense having these settings related to the menu under the navigation 'Settings':

This impacts usability and accessibility as these settings are little discoverable and the UI is unclear. To me, a fix for an unclear / little usable UI is not an 'enhancement', rather it's a bug. I'm not opposed to close this issue when #65828 will be completed but for now, the issue is still there. Reopening.
