Open a submenu from a menu item

Plan step 22, actions.md § Missing (Submenus): M3's Expressive vertical
menu specifies submenus and the Left/Right keys that open and close them,
and the library had neither.

`<x-menu-item submenu>` puts its slot in a second popover on the item's
end, flipping to the start where there is no room. `materialSubmenu`
reuses the menu button pattern one level in: the item is its own trigger,
so the anchor move and the button lookup are overridden away; Right,
Enter and Space open it, Left and Escape close it and return the focus,
and a fine pointer resting on the item opens it after a moment. `items()`
now stops at the popover it belongs to, so the arrows never walk between
a menu and an open submenu. The menu publishes its container as custom
properties so a vibrant menu's submenus are vibrant too.
