…outs PR scp-fs2open#7082 rearranged the FRED2 menu layout to match qtFRED (see issue scp-fs2open#6985), but some users preferred the previous Editors/Misc layout. This adds a "Classic menu layout" toggle (under Settings in the current layout, and under Misc in the classic layout) that swaps the whole menu bar on demand. The choice is persisted to the registry and reapplied on startup. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
