Description Replace some of the popup edit buttons, or tiny edit icons, we currently have - with a new system of context menus. Additionally, add one on some buttons, to give more control.

Specifically...

1) Banners - replace current timed button overlay with context menu with "Edit" and "View stats" options.

2) Theme images - replace current timed button overlay with context menu with "Edit" and "Edit in zone editor" options. (The latter is for left/right panel only)

3) Menus - replace current micro-button (which is placed differently depending on menu type) with context menu with "Edit" option.

4) Panels - replace current edit link with context menu with "Edit" option.

5) Edit buttons - allow right click to specify to submit the save into a new window/tab. You'd see "Save" and "Save into new tab/window" options.

6) Preview. As with '5'.

7) Opening virtual roots (see #2553)
Steps to reproduce

Also:
We need to update any current documentation talking about the theme image editing buttons. I suspect the themeing tutorial references the feature.
Generally the docs would need updating to document all this functionality, as it'd be a little non-obvious, especially for the buttons.
