Menu duplicate of Windows.UI.Popups.PopupMenu #12

PopupMenu can be used for Menu scenarios in XAML apps, so why would we need Menu? One argument is that Menu in Callisto can better align with MVVM models as PopupMenu doesn't implement ICommand but rather IUICommand.

Additionally Menu can be styled/templated.

Closing my own issue as non-actionable :-). PopupMenu intent is for context menus and do not allow for customization or for other types (i.e., toggle)
