Sunbird Menu Rework

With adding new features to Sunbird like Import and Export the File menu and the Calendar context menu got a little bit complex and inconsistent. Some commands are only offered from one of the menus or are labeled with different wording. (bug 327912)

I would like to propose some changes with the following goals:

  • remove unnecessary commands
  • group related commands together
  • improve and unify wording
