This commit brings two meaningful improvements to PhotoDemon:

  1. A new Unicode-capable popup menu class, which supports nested submenus, checkmarks, and other features necessary for localized right-click menus throughout PhotoDemon.

  2. A comprehensive new right-click menu for the Layers toolbox. This was the menu I used to build and test the new popup menu class.

Going forward, I hope to add more right-click menus throughout the program. Thank you to everyone who has suggested this feature.

(Relates to #444)

The first draft of this class was quick and dirty, designed around minimalist, single-level right-click popup menus for a few select UI elements.

Now it's time to expand.  pdPopupMenu now supports submenus in any arrangement, which will finally allow for full-blown right-click (localized!) menus throughout PD.

Now to actually construct all those menus... 😭
Relates to #444

Because all PhotoDemon Layer menu actions were only designed to work on the currently active layer, this new right-click menu required reworking many of layer functions to accept a custom target layer.
... when the operation completes.

This is how Photoshop behaves (it is also more intuitive).
