[GOVCMSD8-599] Add rest_menu_items module

[quaziabdullah]

This enables to have a json output from an existing Drupal menu as a rest endpoint (e.g. "/api/menu_items/main"). A good use-case is to integrate the menu structure while using any component based design.

There is a major issue with version 8.x-2.9 (the latest stable version so far) that causes a fatal 500 error while trying to find uuid parameter from routed url.

More information about this bug:

https://www.drupal.org/project/rest_menu_items/issues/3085497

The patch to fix it:

https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2019-10-03/3085497-Check-for-entity-type-when-getting-uuid.patch

The module maintainer has already added this path into the develop branch which means it will be fixed with next stable release of this module.

The latest stable release (rest_menu_items 3.0.1) fixed following issues:

• Menu link with hash value/anchor does not get included in response

• Fixed an issue with error messages on clean installs

• Error while getting entity type from routed URI

• t() calls should be avoided in classes

• Fixed a typo

• Drupal 9 readiness

• Added version constraint for Drupal because of semantic versioning for Drupal 9

Those two minor PHP 7.3 compatibility issues are actually coming from Drupal plugin namespace. Nothing need to do with this module.
