Make setSubmenu public API

The API for that isn’t public, but it’s technically possible to do that, but each plugin author would need to implement it. (That’s why I changed the title.)

See here for an example implementation:

          	interface Menu {
          		dom: HTMLElement;
          		items: MenuItem[];
          		onMouseOver: (evt: MouseEvent) => void;
          		hide: () => void;
          	}
          
          
	interface MenuItem {
          		callback:  () => void;
          		dom: HTMLElement;
          		setSubmenu: () => Menu;
          		onClick: (evt: MouseEvent) => void;
          		disabled: boolean;
          	}
          }

          							};

          								.map((locale) => {
          									return [locale, languages_dict.get(locale)];
          								})
          								.sort((a, b) => a[1].localeCompare(b[1]));
          
          
							const subMenu = item.setSubmenu();
          							if (pinned_languages) {
          								for (const locale of pinned_languages) {
          									subMenu.addItem((item) => {
          										item.setTitle(languages_dict.get(locale))
          											.onClick(async (e) => {
          												await translation_callback(locale);
          											});
          									});
          								}
          								subMenu.addSeparator();
