Investigate to use the burger menu in the titlebar whenever possible #156379

Testing #156220

The menu bar collapses to the burger menu in the titlebar when it runs out of space.

When I hide the menu it becomes a burger menu entry in the activity bar.

In the second case we should explore whether collapsing it to the burger menu in the titlebar would be a better solution (at least when there is a titlebar).

Interesting, just some initial thoughts:

1) we hide to the activity bar as this is meant to match the behavior of the menu bar appearance menu item. This way they don't lose their menu bar completely by accident. 2) perhaps this means that compact mode is actually conditional on the other elements present in the title bar 3) this requires some thought on the name of the actions we present. instead we could use "move to" like we do with the side bars
