Menu dispatching broken on graceful-exit branch

Description

The graceful-exit branch was created to fix #1835. Menus are now updated on WinActivatedEvents. However this is somewhat problematic. For instance use mouse to load two or more sample images quickly. Often you'll get an exception and one of the images doesn't load (and you can no longer exit the program). The exception is related to the menu. ctrueden had an idea from stackoverflow on how to have one menu bar rather than one per window. Either we need to implement that or fix how menus are synced to avoid this exception. And we must decide when to merge graceful-exit to master.

  • Component changed from Core to UI Framework
  • Blocking 1356 added; 1563 removed
  • Milestone changed from imagej2-b7-ndim-data to imagej2-b10-compatibility

I  took a crack at addressing this issue, using the modeless JDialog approach discussed at  SO #16175884. But doing it right (which we ultimately must do) is too involved for beta7.

Okay. Note I forgot to update this ticket to note that graceful-exit was merged some time ago.
