Florian Müllner 24e842c52e quickSettings: Support child menus in QuickSettingsMenu
This is where it gets hairy.

Some quick settings items will have an associated menu. When
opened, the main menu should grow to make room for the child
menu, as it would do if it contained the child.

At the same time, the child menu will attach to its parent, and
block all input there while it is open.

Menu-modal menus so to speak.

Implement this as follows:

 - change the QuickSettingsMenu actor to a stack that holds
   - the boxpointer (a.k.a. the actual menu)
   - an overlay actor to hold child menus

 - use constraints to bind the overlay's position and width
   to the boxpointer; the y position is offset to align the
   overlay with the grid inside the actual menu

 - add a placeholder actor to the main grid, whose height is
   bound to the overlay height; using a "clone" instead of
   the actual overlay means that layout changes are not triggered
   from outside the grid hierarchy, which would be prone to
   allocation warnings

 - update the layout manager to not allocate the placeholder as
   a regular grid child, but instead include its height in the
   space underneath the row with an open menu

 - apply a dim effect to the boxpointer when a child menu is
   open, to indicate that input is blocked
