As part of the menu redesign, we need to restructure the hamburger menu.

Some initial ideas:

- ⭐ group admin / mod menu items together (akismet, flags, site settings)

- ⭐ move to two columns with glyphs

- ⭐ replicate complete topnav (latest, new, unread, etc) including counts

- ⭐ move very rare, low value items like Keyboard Shortcuts below categories

- perhaps have essentials like FAQ show up at the top until read at least once

- perhaps have headings for different hamburger menu sections (or even expansions?)

For now @eviltrout will work on the starred items as a starting point. We are open to other ideas, please post a visual mockup of your idea.
