Move link profile to context menu next to hide/delete profile #765

The profile node in ds/uss/job tree is getting crowdy.

I believe that only often used functionality should have an icon in there and would suggest moving the Link Profile (Associate Profiles) into context menu next to Hide/Delete Profile

@VitGottwald I agree with your suggestion. I thought we had informally agreed to keep these button bars to three icons. This doesn't seem like a common activity.

I'm wondering about this feature/icon with the tooltip 'Associate Profile.' Is there another story that describes the use case and rationale? Maybe 631? I guess the idea is that a user could create a z/OSMF profile with the + icon and then switch it to a ssh profile. I'm wondering if this is meant to be the workflow for allowing connections to services other than z/OSMF.
