feat: adds settingsMenu to admin navigation sidebar

[PatrikKozak]

What?

Adds a new admin.components.settingsMenu configuration option that allows users to inject custom menu items into the navigation. When configured, a gear icon appears above the logout button in the navigation sidebar. Clicking the gear icon opens a popup menu displaying the custom components.

Why?

Users need a way to add custom actions and menu items to the admin navigation without replacing the entire navigation component. This provides a standardized location for admin-level utilities and actions that don't fit into collection or global navigation.

How?

• Added settingsMenu property to admin.components config type definition
• Created GearIcon component following the existing icon patterns
• Exported GearIcon from the UI package exports
• Implemented SettingsMenuButton client component that renders a popup menu with the gear icon trigger
• Integrated SettingsMenuButton into DefaultNav component, positioned above the logout button
• Updated import map generation to include settingsMenu components
